Final plan

What we heard

Council recently wrote to residents nearby Vanessa Court Reserve to request input on the concept plan for the upcoming redevelopment of the reserve. Thank you to all who provided feedback. Your input helped us to develop the final concept plan (which you can view in the Document Library to the right).

Resident concerns regarding security, privacy and ideas on gardens for wildlife were apparent through the consultation and have been addressed in the final design:

• Consider proximity of the picnic shelter to surrounding resident properties – the shelter has been moved so that it is more visible from the street and a minimum of 11m from each boundary

• Consider screening trees along boundaries and removal of lawn area along boundaries – the path layout has been adjusted to remove the need for lawn areas beside boundary fences and additional tree planting will be added along each boundary

• Consider natives, such as Hakea, Lily Pilli, Acacias, to attract birds and wildlife – natives will feature strongly in the planting design.
