- Obstacles better suited for less experienced users.
- Resurfacing components which have deteriorated over the years.
- Line of sight improvements for safety and security
- Drainage, lighting and seating improvements
These are the first actions as part of a greater Goonellabah Youth Plaza Masterplan.

The current engagement will focus on the above actions only. Please submit all feedback via the feedback form to support future actions.
