Georges River Council has extended community consultation on its Draft Playspace Strategy until 27 November 2026. This allows residents more time to provide feedback following strong community interest.

KABOOM! is the national nonprofit that works to end playspace inequity for good.

Construction is now underway for the Dharawal Nature Playspace and Simmos Beach Parklands projects at Simmos Beach Recreation Reserve, Macquarie Fields.

Bayside Council has accepted the tender from Whittaker Civil Pty Ltd to deliver the playspace and park renewal at Barwell Park, Bexley, with works set to enhance one of the area's most significant historic parks.
