What we heard

In the first phase of engagement we asked the community to share their experiences of the reserve. We received 19 submissions that have informed the concept for an improved H M Dowd Reserve.

Some people who responded requested exercise equipment and pickleball/basketball courts.

Unfortunately there is not enough budget to fulfil these requests. Ball courts are also not suitable in close proximity to neighbouring residents. However, there is space to add exercise equipment to the reserve, should further funding become available in the future.
