What is planned?

We have completed the upgrade of the park and playspace at Oulton Street Park in Fawkner. The park has now been re-opened to the public.

This upgrade included:

  • Upgrading the existing playspace
  • Improving seating and accessibility in the reserve
  • Providing additional planting (shade trees and garden beds)
  • Various park infrastructure improvements.

  • Phase 1: gathering ideas

    First we wanted to understand how people use the park and playspace, what works and what needs improvement.

    See what people said 

  • Phase 3: final design

    Thank you for your feedback on the draft concept plan! The final concept plan has now been prepared.

How can the community influence this project?

What can be influenced?

  • Type of play equipment.
  • Location and types of seating.
  • Other elements for inclusion.

What can't be changed?

  • The upgrade will only cover the reserve and playspace area, not the surrounding areas.
  • No sports elements can be included in this upgrade.
  • Unless trees are dead or in decline, none will be removed as part of this upgrade.
  • The playspace footprint will need to remain under the existing shade sail area.
  • We cannot include large play elements (e.g. flying foxes or tower combination units) as there is limited space for the playspace because neighbouring properties are close by.
  • We cannot include a public toilet with this upgrade in this small park.
  • The final design must fit within the available budget.
