Adventure Playground construction set to start
|
Council has awarded Aspect Contractors a $3.76M contract to design and build Noosa’s new nature-based all-abilities Adventure Playground.
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said Council hoped to have the project finished for Christmas.
“We’ll be doing all we can to get the playground completed in December to give local and visiting children a treat in time for the festive season,” she said.
Designs for the all-abilities playground include a double flying-fox, climbing tower with slide, climbing structures with swings, water play area, picnic shelters and an amenities block.
Council has received $2.78M from the State Government toward the cost of delivering the unique facility. Read more.
