Norman Avenue Park

Council has prepared a draft Landscape Plan for Norman Avenue Park, to set a vision for upcoming capital works upgrades.

The draft Landscape Masterplan proposes the following items:

  • Relocation of playground to towards the southern end of the park to provide shade from existing trees and open up the lawn area for informal passive recreation
  • A local scale playground with a large climbing unit, two swings, a 4-way rocker and nature play
  • Seating opportunities including refurbishing the existing picnic setting and shelter and installing new seats with backrests and sandstone seating logs.
  • Refurbishment to the existing bubbler
  • New concrete circuit path and upgraded entrance
  • Fence extension at the northern and southern ends of the park
  • New park sign
  • Tree planting for shade

Staged works may be necessary subject to funding availability.

Community consultation as undertaken in September – October 2024. Following the community consultation period the Draft Landscape Concept Plan was amended to take on board the feedback we received from the community. See below Revised Landscape Concept Plan

In March the nature play and play equipment was installed.

Excess soil created from the demolition and earthworks was also removed from site and new turf laid in the middle of the open area.

In early April, the monkey bars and the rubber and mulch softfall surfacing will be installed along with the remainder of the perimeter path, new fencing and new park seating.

On 3 February, temporary fencing was erected around Norman Avenue Park and demolition of the existing playground was undertaken.

During February, earthworks and delivery of sandstone blocks for the new playground was completed. Additionally, approx. 90% of the new concrete perimeter path was installed and the existing picnic setting and shelter was refurbished.

In the coming weeks, positioning of the nature play elements will continue with the play equipment scheduled to be installed late March.
