Draft Playground Strategy and Action Plan
Consultation has concluded
Council is asking you to have your say regarding the draft Playground Strategy and Action Plan to ensure it will fulfil the community’s expectations and desires for the future management of some of Council’s most popular assets.
Background
The Playground Strategy is used to guide the management, maintenance and design of playgrounds within the City of Burnside.
The first version of the City of Burnside’s Playground Strategy was endorsed in 2007 and has now been reviewed.
Why the review
The review was undertaken to ensure that the strategy remains relevant to the current needs and desires of the community while setting realistic goals in terms of management and maintenance of some of the City’s most popular assets.
The principles of the Playground Strategy remain the same, and the overall vision of the strategy is to provide “a range of play experiences that are accessible, safe and fun”.
