We are excited to start works at Highview Park playspace in Glen Waverley.

We previously asked for your ideas on how we can improve this valued space and shared a draft concept plan for your feedback. Thank you to everyone who contributed your thoughts on the project.

The upgrade works will begin on 29 January 2024, and we anticipate completion by mid-May 2024.

Some highlights of the new playspace include:

• New play unit with slides
• New swings
• New rope spinner and rocker play unit
• New nature play area
• Landscape and safety improvements such as garden beds, shade trees, accessible pathway, signage, and fencing.

We are also enhancing the natural rockface feature (escarpment) based on community feedback. The key elements include garden beds at the top and bottom of the escarpment and feature plantings of native species to highlight the escarpment, while not blocking the view to or from the cliff face. Rock and log features will also be included. We have designed these upgrades to be sensitive to the surrounding existing landscape and infrastructure.

To ensure the safety of the community, we will close the playspace during construction and place site fencing around the playspace and escarpment until the works are completed.

There may be minor traffic disruption during the day when supplies are delivered.

We look forward to opening an exciting new space for the community soon.

In 2022, we sought ideas and feedback from the local community for a new playspace at Highview Park, Glen Waverley.

We incorporated some of the community’s ideas into an exciting draft concept plan and sought feedback for it in early 2023.
