This project has been classified as an Involve project based on the International Association for Public Participation Spectrum. This means we work directly with the public, stakeholders and rightsholders throughout the design process to ensure that ideas and aspirations are understood and considered.
In this phase, the project team will collect design ideas from community members for the new playground which will guide the development of design options in Community Engagement Phase 2.
The community engagement activities in this phase include:
