Topic: Playground in Reporoa
Enquiry
I'm doing a small story on the Taylor Place [Reporoa] upgrades [reported on during last week’s Council meeting by the rural community board] and wondered if someone could please help with some info on what the council installed (and when) and how much it cost?
I believe it was the stone table, basketball court and the community board sussed the swing. What is the ongoing maintenance cost?
Are there any further upgrades planned there and what/when?
Response
We provided the following information:
See below. If you need to quote someone you can quote Infrastructure and Environment Group Manager Stavros Michael.
Maintenance will be undertaken by council's works department as needed. Fencing for the reserve is expected to be finished in the new year and a small pump track may be added in the future, though this is not currently scheduled.
The Taylor Place Reserve consists of:
- Basketball court, hoop and bench
- Basket swing and softball area
- Picnic table
- Two trees (Horse Chestnut Baumani and Ulmus Lobel)
Funded by Active and Engaged Communities:
- Basketball Hoop - $2,206

Funded by Rural Community Board:
