Ivory Park Play Space Upgrade

Consultation has concluded


Background

Ivory Park is a Local Park located in Noranda. The existing play equipment has reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced mid-2024. This redevelopment aims to create a more welcoming and inclusive play space that can lead to a stronger and more vibrant community.

How will the play space be redeveloped?

The approximate budget for this park redevelopment is $55,000. Depending on the equipment selected, this play space has the potential to enhance play and improve shade provision, either naturally by planting additional trees or shade sails. The Play Space Site Plan provides a visual representation of the play space size and layout.

The City is investigating the opportunity to undertake any additional works at this park in conjunction with the play space renewal. This may include, but is not limited to, converting underutilized areas of turf to mulched native planting to reduce watering and maintenance, community initiatives and general landscape upgrades where necessary and feasible.

The indicative concept plan is now available and ready to be viewed in the document library.

Based on recent community feedback received, the redevelopment of the play space at Ivory Park will include a mix of nature and traditional play equipment. Installation of shade sails will be provided and sand will be used as the soft fall material for the play space. CCTV cameras are not in the scope of works for this play space redevelopment, but community feedback for this request has been noted and passed on to the City’s Ranger’s and Security.

You can view the full community consultation outcomes report here.

Ivory Park play space is now OPEN to the public. 

Shade sail installation will be installed early 2025. Updates will be provided on this page as the project progresses.
