John Tonkin Junior Playground works 🛝

The small playground at John Tonkin Reserve, near Zephyr's cafe, has reached the end of its service life and will be removed from tomorrow (Tuesday 7 September), as part of the Town's ongoing playground renewal program.

For everyone's safety, the area will be temporarily fenced off while works are underway.

We're pleased to share that minor replacement play equipment will be installed in the coming months to refresh the space for local families.
