Play Space PLAN
The City of Bayswater’s Play Space Plan aims to create vibrant, inclusive play spaces for people of all ages. The plan focuses on improving both the enjoyment and functionality of play areas, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of the community.
Taking a holistic approach, the Play Space Plan considers the surrounding environment, existing public open spaces and current play opportunities. It is supported by a 10-year implementation program that is reviewed annually.
Each year, the City proposes a list of potential play space redevelopments for Council’s consideration. These proposals are informed by feedback from local residents and park users, and may be refined to respond to local needs or changing circumstances.
The Play Space Plan provides a clear framework for designing and improving play spaces across the City, helping to deliver a range of high-quality play experiences close to home.

Play Space Redevelopment Program
The City replaces play equipment each year to ensure local play spaces remain safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for the community. Decisions are guided by regular independent safety audits, carried out at least every three years, to make sure equipment meets Australian safety standards. These audits also help identify when equipment needs to be replaced based on its age and condition.
Each year, the City identifies play spaces where equipment is ready for renewal and reviews them to help set priorities. Local residents and park users are then invited to share their feedback, which helps shape the design of the redeveloped play space. Budgets are finalised using this feedback and in line with the Park and Play Space Classification Hierarchy.
