Why is Council upgrading the playspace at Tuggerawong?
This playspace upgrade is part of Council’s ongoing replacement program and was scheduled as part of Council’s Operational Plan 2023-24.
How much will this district level playspace cost?
The new District Playspace - Tuggerawong Hall is expected to cost $330,000 as highlighted in the Central Coast Council's Operational Plan 2024/25.
Will there be inclusive equipment?
Yes, the principle of providing inclusive and accessible playspaces will continue in line with the NSW Government's ‘Everyone can Play’ guidelines and Central Coast Council's Disability Inclusion Action Plan to meet the needs of our diverse range of users.
Inclusive playspaces provide for all abilities, not just access. Accessible playspace design mainly addresses the movement needs of those with disabilities. Council staff undergo continued development in the area of Inclusive & Accessible playspaces and are committed to making places more inclusive for everyone.
Completion of the park construction is planned to occur by 30 June 2025.
Why am I being asked how I use the existing space?
Council is running community consultation to determine current and future users of the playspace and their preferences for the type of playspace and inclusions they would like to see for each district playspace project.
This will help Council design the overall playspace and select the best fit equipment for the community who will be using it.
How will my response be used to inform the design of the new playspace?
The results of the survey will help Council understand the user groups and their needs when it comes to the new playspace. This will allow council to select the most appropriate equipment and layout for the playspace to ensure the community get the best end result.
WIll there be toilet facilities at the new playspace?
Council is planning to construct a new amenities block in the near future after the construction of the playspace.
Will there be shade at this playspace?
Shade structures are included at all district playspaces in the areas of the park that are most essential - such as toddlers areas.
Council uses natural shade within playspace design via existing trees or the planting of mature trees.
Shade structures or tree planning are not always possible at every location due to site constrains such as impacts on the surrounding environment and the high incidence of vandalism, and the cost of maintenance of shade structures.
