Background Information
The new Playspace is located in the Hill Top Community Park along West Parade, Hill Top. It is near proximity to local community facilities, the Hill Top shops and parking.
This new Playspace provides a range of benefits to residents and visitors of Hill Top where:
- Physical activity is encouraged and will keep our children healthy and strong.
- Stronger communities are built and residents have the opportunity to meet their neighbours, chat while the kids play, and build a sense of belonging.
- Beautiful neighbourhoods are enhanced making Hill Top a more vibrant place to live.
Design
In June 2024, Council sought feedback from the Hill Top community to choose one of two concept Playspace plans to compliment play equipment that had been purchased and supplied independently by the Hill Top Community Association.
As a result of community feedback received, Option 2 received the highest response rate from participants. The design was successfully approved by the landowners, the Transport Asset Holding Entity (TAHE).
The Hill Top Playspace has been designed under a Level 2 Playspace in Council's Playspace Strategy and maintains a level of consistency across Council's newly upgraded Playspaces.
Hill Top Community Association Support
The play equipment in the below image has been fully funded and purchased by the Hill Top Community Association independently. This equipment will be located on the vacant blue space indicated in the Option 2 images below.
