Design Update

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.
