Possy Newland Reserve in Little River is set for a revamp, with upgrades scheduled to begin in June.
Stage one works will deliver a new three-level play unit, climbing boulder, swings and carousel, a revamped barbecue area and new landscaping.
Meanwhile, planning is underway for stage two, which will include an upgraded sports court and adjoining youth space with new outdoor furniture, where the youth services team will engage young people through sport and recreation activities.
The youth space is being funded through the state government’s Tiny Towns Fund.
Mayor Mia Shaw said this upgrade would transform Possy Newland Reserve into a district-level play space that would benefit both Little River and the entire Wyndham community.
“These works will significantly enhance the play space at Possy Newland Reserve, creating a fun and inclusive space for children of all ages, as well as new opportunities for families and community members to spend time outdoors,” Cr Shaw said.
Cr Shaw said the development was an example of the municipality’s commitment to delivering more open spaces.
“I’d like to thank those Wyndham residents who took the time to provide their feedback on the plans during our community consultation process for this project – your invaluable feedback has helped shape the future of this reserve,” she said.
Stage one works are expected to be complete in late 2025.
