Option 4 emerged as the preferred choice among voters.

Last Updated: 6 September 2024 Follow Engagement

The playground at Alan Edwards Reserve is set for renewal. To ensure the new playground meets the needs of the local community and fosters a sense of connection and enjoyment for all, we sought input from residents.

We presented four distinct design options, each featuring unique elements, and invited the community to vote for their preferred choice. Voting closed 4.00pm Wednesday, 16 October  2024. We received 66 responses, and the feedback has been reviewed by our project team. We are pleased to announce that Option 4 emerged as the preferred choice among voters!

Engagement snapshot

We anticipate the new playground to be installed during the first half of next year.

What is park hierarchy?

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 2 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.
