Consultation on renewing the playground at Meadowood Reserve closed on 1 November 2024.

Thank you for having your say.

We received 30 responses through the online survey, onsite posters and social media posts.

We kept the community informed and held on-site sessions. We also held two in-person events at Albany Junior High and Albany Senior High schools to gather further feedback.

Main feedback themes

Feedback shows that the playground should:

• cater to all age groups, especially as it is next to a community house
• improve drainage, as the area often gets very wet
• include more skate features and an upgraded basketball area
• use a mix of vibrant and natural colours.

Changes made based on the feedback

We used the feedback to shape the concept design of the playground.

What happened next

The Upper Harbour Local Board has supported the concept design and recommended additional shade for shelter and embankment slides.

The detailed concept design is almost complete. Construction is expected to begin in 2026.
