Have Your Say Canterbury Bankstown
Consultation has concluded
Goondah Reserve is located in Bura / Bass Hill Ward and bordered by Coolalie, Goondah, Kungala and Yunga Burra Streets in Villawood. The Reserve is home to a range of recreational facilities and Council has begun planning an exciting new playground and upgraded open space.
At the April 2022 Council Meeting, Council resolved to submit an application under the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program (formerly known as the WestInvest Program) for the delivery of this project. This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program and Canterbury-Bankstown Council.
The beginning of 2024, saw the closure of the Wran Leisure and Aquatic Centre. Decommissioning and remediation of the site have been completed and we are now designing an attractive, engaging, and inclusive space for everyone to enjoy.
Previous Engagement was undertaken in late 2023 where we received input from the community on what you would like to see in the new park. Council have listened and this feedback has been incorporated into the design which is now available for further community input.
We are very excited to present to you the concept design for the upgrade of Goondah Reserve, Villawood which will transform the site into a modern open space recreational area for people of all ages to visit and enjoy.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas for the design.
Goondah Reserve will be home to a new Play Level 1 - Destination playground. This is the highest level of playground and equipment Council provides; nearby examples of Play Level 1 playgrounds include:
Based on insights gathered during initial community consultation, a concept design has been crafted that incorporates your ideas and suggestions. We value your opinion and want to know what you think about this design and ask that you share your thoughts on preferred options for this space before we complete the design.
We are now seeking community comments/feedback to help us better understand the types of play elements and park infrastructure you would like to see incorporated into the concept design for Goondah Reserve, Villawood.
