Hillcrest Drive Reserve Upgrade

• Project statusConstruction

What we're doing

We're upgrading the Hillcrest Drive Reserve playspace to create a more welcoming, accessible and enjoyable space for people of all ages to enjoy.

The upgrades include:

• new play equipment for children of different ages and abilities
• a new pathway to improve access throughout the reserve
• a new drinking fountain
• a new picnic shelter
• new bicycle racks
• additional tree planting to provide more shade and enhance the landscape

Works will take place between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

The project is expected to be completed by December 2026, weather permitting.

Why we're doing it

The existing play facilities within the reserve are ageing and have reached the end of their useful life.

This upgrade will provide modern, accessible and inclusive play opportunities for the community, while encouraging outdoor recreation, supporting health and wellbeing, and creating a space where people can connect and spend time together.

What to expect

Works are planned to commence in September and are due to be completed in December 2026, weather permitting. Construction works will take place between 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Temporary fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the playspace, which will be closed throughout the construction period. An alternative can be found nearby at Westmeadows Reserve.

Managing impacts

We manage our works responsibly in line with project requirements by:

• keeping residents informed when work is happening nearby
• using clear signage
• securing worksites with fencing, barriers and safety measures
• monitoring and managing noise, dust and other construction impacts.

We appreciate your patience as we work on these improvements at Hillcrest Drive Reserve.
