Trees on Private Property and Street Verges

Play Space Strategy
We are reviewing all our current play spaces and looking at different ways of providing play experiences to the community in the future. We'd like to know where your favourite play spaces are and which parks and places you like to go to, so we can get an idea of what you would like to see in your local area. The City will then take your feedback and work on a strategy to plan, design and implement play spaces in the future. This doesn't mean we are changing all the current play spaces and playgrounds; we want to hear from the community about what works and what doesn't so we can do things better.
More information on how to be involved, or to complete the online survey, can be found here: https://engage.bayswater.wa.gov.au/play-space-strategy
