To ensure the new playground meets local needs, we want you to help choose the best design. Engaging with the community is key to building a sense of pride and ownership. Your input helps us create a playground that everyone can enjoy and feel connected to.
The engagement period for this project ran from
25 September to 16 October 16 2024. We want our engagement process to be accessible by all, so we had the options to provide feedback:
- via our online survey;
- over the phone; or
- in person by visiting the City of Melville Administration Building.
The hierarchy of parks, within Melville is pocket, local, neighbourhood and district and reflects state documentation/strategies.
This hierarchy is based on the number of anticipated visitors and the distance they are drawn from to attend this space. For example, with district parks it is anticipated people will be drawn from over two kilometres, neighbourhood parks are anticipated to draw residents from 800 metres, and local parks residents from approximately 400 metres and pocket parks are the incidental green spaces around the City.
The amount of facilities/infrastructure provided on each space reflects the size and use of the reserve and the distance required travelling and therefore the anticipated duration of time spent on-site.
The distribution of district, neighbourhood and local parks allows us to have a balanced level of the quality of space across the City.
Alan Edwards Reserve is classified as a Sporting Neighbourhood Park.
