Paparata Reserve draft concept plan

In February and March 2025, we asked for your feedback about our plans to redevelop Paparata Road Reserve in Bombay.

Feedback showed support for:

  • a new community social and play area
  • pathways that connect to the school and nearby streets.

In May 2025 we presented our draft concept plans to Franklin Local Board. The board chose a preferred option for public consultation.

The preferred option aims to create a community space in the reserve to provide social and play opportunities like:

  • a playground
  • a community lawn for ball games
  • a seating and picnic area
  • a shared path for walking and cycling.

What we want your feedback on

We now want your feedback to help us design our final plan for the reserve and to make sure it reflects local needs.

We want to know:

  • what you like about our draft concept plan
  • what you do not like about our draft concept plan
  • if you have any other feedback about our draft concept plan.
