Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on this project.
With your help we have finalised the concept plan for Carrick Park in Rochele South.
Changes based on your feedback
The original plan was to have new rubber soft-fall covering the entire playground area, providing a cushioned landing.
As part of the detailed design process, Council’s tree experts have recommended we use a Takura bark soft-fall under the tree closest to the playground.
This will ensure safety for playground users and that the tree roots remain healthy while they grow and avoids the damage that would likely occur if rubber soft-fall was used in that particular area.
Rubber soft-fall will be used for the rest of the playground area.
We have also revised the playground layout to ensure the proposed swing is fully accessible along a rubber soft-fall pathway.
We'll provide updates on this page as the project progresses.
