Playgrounds
Council provide playgrounds throughout the municipality.
A continual maintenance program is undertaken of playground surrounds, equipment, and soft fall to ensure the Australian Safety Standards are achieved.
Parks and Gardens
Parks and gardens are a local government responsibility, although no legislation or policies exist except for road traffic/safety considerations. Civic pride issues are the driver for our parks and gardens. Local government have no fees for uses and fully fund the service from rates.
Barbecue Areas
The cleaning schedules for public conveniences have been developed based on the usage of each facility and community expectations for each facility based on its location.
The entire public convenience service is oriented around responding to community expectations. For instance, public toilets on sporting reserves are opened on demand (for special events on the sporting reserve) and during regular sporting events. High profile/high usage toilets are cleaned on a more frequent basis, with cleaning regimes increasing during public holidays, special events, and the tourism season.
