Mimosa Oval playspace upgrade
About the playground
This playspace is categorised as a local playground. Local playgrounds generally cater for residents within walking distance and are not designed to attract users from much further afield. They are the most common category of playgrounds within the Council and usually do not include facilities such as toilets as they are intended for shorter stays.
Final concept plan
Community consultation was undertaken to inform the design of the local playground in 2025. This consultation resulted in a variety of differing opinions on inclusions for the upgrade. In finalising the concept plan council has sought to provide a balanced outcome based on this feedback.

Our goal
Our goal for the upgrade is to create an attractive, engaging and inclusive community place for everyone to enjoy. It will be a place to meet, play and relax that enhances the local neighbourhood and growing residential community.
The upgraded playspace will feature:
- Nature based play equipment (forest structure, climbing rope/grips, double swing, log balance, butterfly seesaw, spinner).
- Improved access and infrastructure (bubbler, gates, fences, bin, bike racks, concrete and granite paths, accessible parking).
- Ground treatments (rubber and mulch softfall, stepping stones, mulched garden beds).
- Landscaping (new planting with extra shade trees, restored decomposed granite paths, new retaining walls).
- Tree management (retention of healthy mature trees).
- Seating (sandstone seating, plinth seat).
What's next
Council is now progressing with the detailed design of the playground based on the concept plan with an aim to begin construction in late 2025 pending a successful outcome of the Council's mandatory tender process. Please note that as the project goes through the detailed design and construction process the final plan may require some changes.
