Lismore City Council is responsible for our public parks and playgrounds in the Lismore local government area. As part of our commitments in the Lismore City Council Delivery Plan 2023 – 2027 and the Open Spaces Strategy 2024 – 2034, we aim to elevate play spaces and ensure they align with community needs and the play hierarchy (see the Open Spaces Strategy 2024 – 2034). This commitment to managing our parks and assets, ensures financial sustainability while enhancing the long-term value for everyone.

As part of our forward works program, Council staff have recently undertaken an audit of our local and neighbourhood parks. This audit identified a number of parks that require renewal, with preliminary assessment determining the scope of works required. When assessing parks, staff considered:

  • Open Space Strategy Play Hierarchy
  • Playground lifecycle
  • Playground catchment area
  • Playground design and offering
  • Playground usage and residing population
  • Shade offering
  • Site conditions
  • Budget and resources to construct and maintain

The Parks Renewal Program will commence in June 2025. Council will connect with community – listen and engage – to create quality recreational spaces.

In alignment with the 2025 – 2026 Budget, the following locations have received budget allocation for renewal.
