Council’s manager of community planning John Ferguson said the new facility will cater to children between the ages of 2 and 12 years old.

“Recreation areas and playgrounds are a central part of our community; providing places for children to play and for parents to meet and socialise with others,” Mr Ferguson said.

“The new playground at Mullington Park will be in a prominent location, along Dunkley Parade, which is easily accessible for the surrounding community.”

Works to construct the playground are expected to be completed this financial year.
