It’s child’s play for Elton Park

Backed by strong community support, concept plans were approved by City of Wanneroo Council at its October meeting.

The City asked local residents for feedback on the initial concept design and an overwhelming 83 per cent of respondents were in favour of the playground.

Many people said the playground would be a welcome addition to the area, and they would be happy to see their children or grandchildren enjoying the park.

The play equipment is being installed as part of the City of Wanneroo’s playground installation program and funded through the 2018/19 Capital Works Program.

Mayor Tracey Roberts said she was pleased that the majority of the community is in favour of the new playground.

“As a City we are committed to providing facilities that encourage a healthy and active lifestyle for our residents and this playground will benefit our younger residents as well as their families,” Mayor Roberts said.

“I would like to thank the community for their involvement in the consultation process, which in turn helps Council with the decision making process.”

Construction of the playground is planned to commence in April 2019, with completion by June 2019.
