What happens next?
Your feedback will be collated and incorporated into the final park upgrade design where possible. Construction is expected to start in the first half of 2020. Check out the Concept Plan for an idea of what the upgrade will look like. Please note that precedent images are indicative only. Keep up to date with the project on this page.
The feedback will also be used to inform a long term plan for Simpson Park along with ideas gathered through a community survey in 2014. The draft Plan of Management for Pocket and Neighbourhood parks (including Simpson) will be on exhibition for public comment later this year. Council will notify the community when the public exhibition is open.
