Playground Strategic Planning

The adopted Open Spaces Strategic Plan 2012 was prepared to guide the future direction for open spaces management for Council to 2021 and beyond. The following general strategy and actions for Jacaranda Park are listed within the plan:

• upgrade to a regional/destination park to cater for a range of age groups;

• fence the playground;

• install playground equipment for children with a disability; and

• develop a road safety bike track.

The Playground Asset Management Plan (AMP) Scenario3 Version 1 and Playground Policy were adopted 18 August 2015 (ITEM 14.142/15) to strategically plan and set out guidelines for the provision of Council playgrounds. A staged process over several years for the construction of a regional playground at Jacaranda Park is identified in the Playgrounds AMP renewal and capital works program, while the Playground Policy defines the Council’s Playground Service Hierarchy and Service Level Objectives.
