The upgraded railway park will provide a range of benefits to residents and visitors of Colo Vale, including children and young people who will use it and the wider community around it. Further benefits include:

• Increased health and happiness where physical activity is encouraged
• A stronger community for families to connect, meet their neighbours and build a sense of belonging
• Creating a well-designed play area that enhances the look and feel of the local Colo Vale community
• The upgraded park will provide a social hub for children and young people through interactive play

The park is located within walking distance of the Colo Vale Community Centre and the Colo Vale Heritage Train Station along Railway Avenue, Colo Vale.

We recently sought community input on two options for an upgraded playspace at Colo Vale Railway Park. Option B was chosen by the community for the park, which Council is currently constructing.

In partnership with the Colo Vale Community Association and the landowners of Railway Park, Transport Asset Manager (TAM), Council held two drop in face-to-face sessions.

These sessions provided an opportunity for the local Colo Vale community to share feedback about both options presented. These sessions were held at the Colo Vale Community Centre and Memorial Hall on Tuesday 26 November 2024 in the morning and afternoon.

The community consultation period was open from Monday 18 November and closed on Sunday 8 December 2024. Council invited written submissions to be received from the community during this period. An online survey on this page was available for the community to complete and share feedback about which design option was preferred.
