Carine Community Parkland Upgrade

Last update date: 20 November 2024

The City is proposing upgrades to the Okely Rd playground at Carine Regional Open Space.

The City places a high value on play opportunities for children and is committed to providing a range of quality, well-maintained play equipment for children to enjoy.

The existing Okely Rd playground is due for renewal and an upgrade to a community parkland, similar in scale to the one at Charles Riley Reserve is proposed. The upgrade will consider the following elements:

A new playground
Basketball shooting area improvements
New/improvements to the picnic facilities
Investigation of pedestrian access (including accessibility) throughout the area

The City believes that playgrounds should cater to the needs of its local community and sought to understand how the current playground area was being utilised.

The consultation report is available below and will help to inform the upgrade design process.

The main combination structure in the playground is 24 years old and at the end of its asset life. To bring the area up to the current standard provided by the City, it is proposed to redesign the playground and support infrastructure.

The upgrade does not extend to the public toilet facilities. The toilet was installed in 2014 and is considered an appropriate size for the adjacent community parkland.
