Free Children's Garden Stage 1

The local council have employed renowned play space designer Mary Jeavons Landscape Architecture to create a highly inclusive design for a children's garden, to be implemented in the Mitchell Avenue Reserve of Wangaratta. The idea of the design is to create a unique, adventurous experience for children and their families. The space will be physically challenging, interactive and provide high sensory value. I am applying for funding to support the building of this garden as I believe it will contribute huge benefits to the local community, recreationally, mentally and socially.

This project targets development opportunities for children during daylight hours, seven days of the week and free of charge. It is also going to be a highly accessible facility, both in relation to the close proximity to residential areas (over 1000 residents live within a 500m radius to the site) and two primary schools, as well as being wheelchair/ pram accessible. The Mitchell Avenue reserve is already well known and has long been held as a hub for the Yarrunga and South Wangaratta communities.
