Eastern Play Space Strategy 2024-2034 - Blackstone Heights, Prospect Vale and Hadspen areas.

The Strategy reviews Council’s current provision and outlines a 10-year plan, considering community needs, demographics, open space and playground trends and safety standards.

The Strategy focuses on the provision of play spaces rather than playgrounds, acknowledging that spaces should cater for a wider demographic than only children and that these spaces act as social gathering areas, away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.
