Works on a new accessible pathway and playground upgrade, started in September 2024 at Heritage Park, Mullumbimby.

Construction is expected to take approximately 6 months.

Works include

2m wide path, including boardwalk areas, from Mill Street entrance to Brunswick Terrace.
Upgrades to the existing playground.
Removal of unofficial carpark area.
New dog off lead area.

New play equipment

The proposed new equipment is aimed at improving the play experience for the 6 to 12-year-olds.

A proposed 4-meter-high climbing net offers views over the park with more challenging balancing ropes, elevated platforms and climbing features.

There will also be more natural and repurposed materials such as boulders, logs, rocks, steppers or plants to facilitate nature-based and imaginative play.

The existing play equipment will remain.

New family friendly shelter

The upgrades will also provide a new family friendly shelter and extra seating.

The existing table setting will remain.

How will this impact me?

The area at the eastern part of the park along Mill Street will be closed off.
The carpark will be returned to turf and cars will be restricted from accessing the site by installation of rock barriers.
At various stages during construction parts of the park will be closed off to the public.
During the playground upgrades the existing playground will be closed and fenced.
