Brunswick East Primary School wants to open its gates to the wider community outside school hours. While the school has a small oval, playground, nature play, a basketball court, tennis walls, down ball courts and table tennis tables, many of the facilities require renewal to improve safety and usage. To do this we need to resurface the basketball court, cover the basketball court (for lighting and weather protection), improve the oval and update the play equipment.
Moreland City Council is supportive of this idea and has offered a Joint User Agreement which will assist with changes to fencing and maintenance.
The area of Brunswick has a growing youth population (Forecast ID 2018) and a shortage of open green space and recreational facilities (Moreland Council 2017 Park Close to Home Framework). The all-weather cover and lighting on the basketball court will provide a needed addition to the infrastructure of the area. Also, the fenced nature of the grounds means that young children are kept safe.
There are several major apartment developments under way in the Brunswick East area. These developments will increase the provision of outdoor recreational outdoor spaces for young people.

Great idea to share the school's grounds with the local community outside of school hours. Will help to build greater community connections in the local area.

After more than 20 years this much loved playground is falling apart. This is such a necessary asset for our school, but would have added value by welcoming the community as well.
