Update 16 January 2025

Thank you to all who provided feedback on these playgrounds.

Consultation for this phase is now closed.

We are now collating your feedback. This will inform our tender process. We will report back on what we heard from the community in the coming weeks.

We hope to have proposed designs in March / April 2025. We'll seek community input again to select a colour scheme for each playground.



Calling young families! It’s time to swing into action and share your thoughts on three playgrounds in Jan Juc, Moriac, and Torquay.

We're replacing:

  • Bob Pettitt Reserve South Playgrounds in Jan Juc
  • Moriac All-Access Playground at Newling Reserve and
  • Ocean Acres Playground in Torquay.

From sliding and spinning to climbing and jumping, we want to know what you most and least enjoy about these playgrounds. Feedback will help us design and then replace the playgrounds.

The playgrounds will offer the same play features and fun, with minor changes based on community input. We might swap a rock-climbing wall with a rope net, a standard swing for a basket swing, or a tic tac toe panel with a clock – that’s where your input comes in.

We’ll retain everything the community tells us they love about the playgrounds – whether that’s the look and feel or the ages it caters for.
