What's Happening

Edward Bennett Oval playground is scheduled for renewal under Council‘s capital works program. The playground upgrade is part of wider master planned upgrade works for the park that include a circuit path, amenities building upgrade, fitness opportunities and water harvesting basins.

The playground will be upgraded from a local level provision playground to a district level playground as per Council’s Play Plan HSC5867-Play-Plan-April-21-FA.pdf.
