Thank you to local residents who provided ideas and feedback to help Council create an exciting playspace in Petronella Avenue Reserve, Wheelers Hill.
Works to upgrade the playspace are expected to begin on Monday 25 October 2021, with an anticipated completion in December 2021.
Site fencing will be placed around the works area, however access to the remainder of the reserve will remain available. We apologise for this inconvenience, but look forward to opening up a new and improved facility as soon as possible.
Please view the updated concept plan below, which includes suggestions from the local community:
Concept plan - Petronella Avenue Reserve playspace(PDF, 9MB)
Please note: The above design is a concept only. Whilst we believe that the construction of this playspace will be largely consistent with what is shown, this design is indicative rather than a precise specification.
Play features for this local playspace will include:
- Timber play sculpture
- Carousel spinner
- Double swing
- Basket swing
- Log steppers.
Other elements of the project will include:
- Bench seating
- Drainage improvements to minimise overland flows from the reserve into private properties
- New shared-use path through the reserve as a local pedestrian and cycling link connecting Mary Avenue and Petronella Avenue.
We hope that you will enjoy this improvement to your local neighbourhood.
