Maintenance of Parks and Reserves

The City of Melville maintains numerous parks and reserves.

On occasions, there may be an issue at a park, such as watering restrictions affecting the park maintenance schedule. Such issues may be out of the City's control, which may affect the state of any park, reserve or environmental area.  For works and projects please see Projects and Road Works.

Playground and Exercise Equipment

The City aims to provide safe equipment within parks that our residents and their families can utilise and enjoy. When a playground equipment piece becomes unsuitable for use, the City may consider the replacement of the Playground. Where possible, the City will aim to provide maintenance of the playground equipment. On occasions a new site for play equipment is identified, either as part of a project such as the old Melville Primary School Park development, or through consultation with community groups.
