FAQs

There are limited locations within the park for a playground due to existing trees as well as slope and accessibility of the area. The proposal to keep the playground at its current location aligns with the Gunnamatta Park Masterplan 2010.

Yes, Gunnamatta Park is host to several locally significant heritage buildings including the Gunnamatta Pavilion, Electrical substation and picnic shelters. The site is also significant for its cultural heritage values (Aboriginal and European) and for its remnant, indigenous vegetation. The proposed playground renewal project will acknowledge and respect these heritage values.

We expect work to start on the playground renewal in early 2027.

The renewal is expected to provide multiple play opportunities, including swings. Council welcomes input from our community as we plan for the playground. We will also share the draft concept plan with our community when it’s ready.

The playground renewal design process will be undertaken in order to retain existing trees.

In tandem with the proposed upgrade to the heritage pavilion and playground renewal, the character of the park will be conserved in keeping with heritage values.

Council is proposing to upgrade the Gunnamatta Pavilion and will be consulting with the community as the project continues. More information is available on our website.
