Former playground to be removed

Work is progressing well on the Macarthur Precinct upgrade project.

The majority of equipment has been installed for the new playground, with contractors working over the next few weeks to install soft fall, landscaping and completion of the multi-court. The new site will remain closed until works in this area are finished.

The existing playground is now closed of as we prepare for it’s removal. The old playground will be dismantled over the coming weeks and shipped by Rotary to a disadvantaged community overseas.

Port Fairy Rotary are working on the playground removal so this is a great community effort to support another community with much loved play opportunities.

Unfortunately, regulations and standards in Australia mean it cannot be re-installed anywhere in Australia.

This stage of works (including the splashpad) is funded with a $500,000 grant from Emergency Recovery Victoria, a $300,000 grant from Sport and Recreation Victoria and $300,000 from Council and Community contributions.
