• Project valueThis projected is funded by the Bega Valley Shire Council
• Project scheduleCompleted
• Completion Date28 February 2026

Project background

Council manages 38 playgrounds across the Shire. They represent a significant investment by Council and an on-going maintenance commitment. Council is facing several challenges, as many playgrounds are aging, trends on play are changing, and financial resources are limited. We need a plan for future playgrounds that aligns with changing demographics, evolving play trends, and new safety standards—while staying within our financial means.

To do this, we are developing a Playspace Improvement Plan that will outline a strategic and sustainable approach to future playspace provision, playspace hierarchy, service standards, development principles, and a future works program.

Purpose

The Playspace Improvement Plan will set out the guidelines for the provision of Council playspaces with the aim to:

• Provide the community with access to a diverse range of quality playspaces
• Enhance play value and inclusivity through better playspace design
• Provide clear planning and smart investment to ensure the future financial sustainability of the playspace network.

Funding

This project is funded by the Bega Valley Shire Council.

Connection to Council's Community Strategic Plan

“Our community has access to good quality open space, recreation and sporting facilities that support health and wellbeing.”

• Strategy D.4: Plan for, develop and maintain sport and recreation spaces and facilities.
