Project overview
The aim of this project is to enhance the liveability and wellbeing of the Anna Bay community and local residents through the provision of a high quality, inclusive play space that fits the natural characteristics of the location.
Objectives:
- Construction of a new inclusive Tier 3 Local Playground that complies with Everyone Can Play Guidelines to service local residents and visitors.
- Upgrading pedestrian connections to link in with future planned pathway network.
Project background
PSC was approached by South Tomaree Community Association (STCA) seeking support for a partnership with the association on providing new play facilities at Dunmore Reserve.
The existing equipment is no longer fit for purpose and requires replacement to better cater for the growing needs of the local Anna Bay Community and visitors and to provide inclusive play facilities for all to enjoy.
This project will provide play opportunities, seating and pathways for local residents and visitors to Anna Bay that are inclusive, accessible and within walking distance for nearby locals, enabling low cost access to play and recreation facilities.
The play space is currently utilised mostly by local, neighbouring residents their families and visitors. Ages most commonly using the space are toddlers accompanied by adults (parents and grandparents) and young adults.
In September 2023, local residents were informed of the playspace upgrades via a letterbox drop and site signage.
