Paringa Reserve is a long open space that wraps around Sommerville Point with seating and fantastic views of the Harbour.
Key proposals
Council has prepared a draft Plan of Management (POM) and draft Master Plan that will guide how we maintain and improve the reserve for the next 10 years.
Key proposals in the draft plans include:
Revitalise the abandoned restaurant and terrace
Provide a new container-style kiosk
New forecourt paving to improve safe access to the park, wharf and kiosk
Fully accessible toilet
A fully accessible path from the wharf along the foreshore
Clear and consistent signage
Natural heritage information
Outdoor gym equipment
Additional tree planting to improve shade
Establish a cohesive landscape and furniture strategy to allow for smaller gatherings, picnics, relaxation, and peaceful recreation
Additional park seating towards the bay and curved seating under trees
A water bubbler
Repairs to existing fencing
Investigate a new path/stairs to Lockhardt Avenue that will connect the walkway to Lockhart/Phoebe Street
We want to make sure everybody can provide feedback.
Please contact us if you require a paper survey or wish to provide feedback in another format

What happens next?
The project team will review and consider community feedback before finalising the plans. The PoM and Master Plan will then go to the elected Council for adoption. The Park will be progressively upgraded over the next 10 years. Feedback on the kiosk concept designs will be reviewed before proceeding to the detailed design.
