Laurence Street Play Space Upgrade
Council has identified the existing playground infrastructure as reaching the end of its useful asset life, requiring renewal to improve safety, accessibility, functionality and community value. The project forms part of Council's ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading public recreation assets across the Hawkesbury Local Government Area.
Detailed design documentation has been prepared by Civille and includes demolition plans, grading plans, drainage designs, materials and finishes schedules, planting plans, construction details and playground equipment specifications. The proposed upgrade introduces:
New inclusive and age-diverse play equipment.
New PlayMatta compliant rubber softfall surfacing.
Coloured reinforced concrete pathways and circulation areas.
New picnic facilities and drinking fountain.
New perimeter fencing and child-safe access gate.
Landscape planting and turf renewal.
Stormwater drainage infrastructure and subsoil drainage.
Provision for shade sail installation as a provisional item.
Reuse of selected existing assets including seating and bin infrastructure where nominated.
The design has been developed to improve user experience whilst maintaining compatibility with the surrounding reserve environment and protecting retained vegetation and existing infrastructure including a 525 mm stormwater pipeline located within the site.
