Engagement is open for plans by the Council to renew the playspace at Bluegum Reserve, Badger Creek and a preview concept plan is available for residents to view and comment on at the Yarra Ranges Council website.

Council is seeking public feedback on a number of items for the draft design and engagement closes on 11 June.

Public is being asked to give thoughts on features and artwork for the public space in a series of drop-down options, including colour schemes for the playspace soft fall rubber and concrete blends.

The engagement commences after a draft design was developed and incorporated feedback given in Stage 1 of the Bluegum Drive Playspace project.

Bluegum Reserve Playspace is valued by the local community and the site is commonly used by all ages for playing, walking and health and fitness.

Previously the public had told Council that the playspace currently does not meet public needs and requires a more diverse range of equipment to suit and entertain all ages.

Prior feedback also included a need for the peace to be safe with open grasses space, with more seating and park furniture.

The public also requested a natural structure designed playspace with access to the creek and accessible play equipment.
