Playgrounds & Parks
Thank you for your participation
We received a great response to the Homestead Park playground replacement survey and drop-in session held on Wednesday 23 January, with a clear consensus for playground Option 3.
The supplier has been engaged and it is anticipated that the new playground will be installed June 2024 to allow for manufacture, delivery and installation of the equipment.

Every year the City identifies playground equipment approaching the end of its life and replaces it with similar equipment based on current trends, best practice, accessibility and local enjoyment. This year, the equipment at Homestead Park on the corner of Wellard and Bertram Road will be replaced and the City would love for you to vote on the final design by clicking the 'Take Survey' button at the bottom of this page. Consultation is open from 10 January to 30 January 2024.
On this page we invite you to:
- Have a look at the concept plans
- View the images to see what the play space currently looks like
- Cast your vote on your what you would like see installed.
Your feedback will provide helpful insights into the Homestead Park renewal design and designs for future playground renewals around our City.

FAQs
What happens to the old playground equipment?
We keep any components that are in good condition to be used as spare parts for other playgrounds. Any components that are no longer fit for use are recycled.
How does a playground renewal differ from an upgrade?
A playground upgrade may consider increasing the size of the existing playground, adding additional areas or increasing the scope. A playground renewal, as we are doing here, is replacing the existing equipment with something similar.
