JW Rattley Reserve is located on Harvey Street, Nailsworth at the eastern side of the Council area. It is a small park that connects the street to the North Road Cemetery.
It was upgraded in June/July 2020 with a new basket swing, playground structure, reflective (sensory) garden, a musical instrument (xylophone) and nature play elements. Due to a number of residents and park users who were dissatisified that the upgrade met their needs, Council is looking to undertake Stage 2 Works to meet the needs of park users.
Furthermore, due to the disruptive nature of the musical instrument, it was subsequently removed from the playspace.
A draft concept plan has been prepared in-house with additional upgrades, including nature play – teepee, rocks/boulders for balancing, and interactive elements that are not disruptive.
The purpose of this community consultation is to inform the community of the draft concept plan for the Stage 2 Works and invite participants to provide feedback on components on the draft plan, and to ensure that it meets the community’s expectations.
