Ogilvie Road Reserve Swing Installation

This project is being delivered as part of the City’s annual playground renewal program, which allocates funding across multiple sites each year. Due to the small budget available for this location, the scope of works was intentionally focused on a single swing installation.
 
This approach allows the City to improve play opportunities at Ogilvie Road Reserve in a targeted and cost-effective way, while ensuring funding can continue to be shared across other playground and open space projects throughout the City.

The City wanted to understand local views before any decision was made about a potential swing installation at Ogilvie Road Reserve. Community feedback helped inform whether there was support for a swing at this location, and the type of swing the community would prefer.

All feedback was considered alongside safety, space and technical requirements before a final decision was made.

We want our engagement process to be accessible to all, and to achieve this we provided multiple ways for the community to participate, including an online survey, over the phone on 9364 0666, and in person at the City of Melville Administration Building, 10 Almondbury Road, Booragoon WA.

The hierarchy of parks within the City reflect state documentation/strategies. These classifications are based on the number of anticipated visitors and the distance they are drawn from:

• District parks - people will attend from over two kilometres
• Neighbourhood parks - residents from 800 metres
• Local parks - residents from approximately 400 metres
• Pocket parks - incidental green spaces around the City. 

The distribution of district, neighbourhood and local parks allows us to have a balanced level of the quality of space across the City.
