Byethorne Park Playground Renewal

Part of the Byethorne Park playground is being renewed and we want your help in choosing the types of play elements that will replace the old equipment.

There are two play areas in Byethorne Park, they are:

1. An original area located along the boundary fence of Byethorne Park that has four pieces of old play equipment, and
2. A new area created in 2019 through the Fund My Neighbourhood program that has a kick around space and nature play.

Due to the age and condition of the play equipment in the area along the boundary fence it is now time that it is replaced.

The equipment in the nature play area is not being renewed and will remain as is.

The play equipment being replaced

There are four pieces of play equipment along the boundary fence that need to be replaced, they are:

• Flying fox/track rider
• Rocker
• Climbing frame
• Musical drums

Help us choose what will replace the old play equipment

It is yet to be decided what pieces of play equipment will replace the old play equipment. This is where we want your input!

We are giving you, the community, the opportunity to be involved and tell us what types of play elements you would like to see replace the four old pieces of play equipment. The types of play elements are listed below. This list is not of exact play equipment pieces that may be installed, rather it's a list of the types of play. You will get to choose three play elements via the online form.

List of play elements

• Slide
• Swing
• Rocker
• See Saw
• Spinner
• Balancing structure
• Climbing structure
• Flying fox/track rider
• Interactive panel games
• Fixed musical instruments

At the end of the consultation, the play elements that receive the most community votes will be included. The final number of pieces will depend on their individual costs and how they fit within the playground renewal budget.

Location for the new play equipment

Since we need to remove the old equipment, we are taking the opportunity to install the replacement equipment closer to the newer playground / nature play area.

The area along the boundary fence where the old play equipment is currently located will be returned to a natural passive space.

How to have your say

Help choose the type of play elements that may be installed by selecting three options in the online form below.

We will also be at the Nairne Community Carols on Saturday 13 December 2025 where the community can choose play elements on a display board. The Nairne Community Carols is being held at the Nairne Primary School Oval from 5pm to 8pm.

The online form will close at midnight on Sunday 14 December 2025.
