As part of delivering the Kilsyth Recreation Reserve Master Plan, Yarra Ranges Council will be developing a draft concept design for a new playspace at Kilsyth Recreation Reserve Playspace, Kilsyth and we would like your feedback before we begin.
This reserve is situated Colchester Road, Kilsyth View Map
The aim of this survey is to understand how you currently use the space and how you would like to see the space developed to create a valued place for the community.
The playspace will be constructed in line with the Playspace Plan 2019-2029, as a local-level playspace, large infrastructure such as shelters, toilets and barbeques will not be included as part of this scope.
Once the feedback from the survey has been collected, Council will work with a team of consultants to develop a draft concept design which will then be advertised to the community during the second consultation phase for further feedback.
As part of this consultation stage, we will also be seeking feedback from local stakeholders including but not limited to;
- Kilsyth Community Action Group
- Outer East Football Netball Association
- Residents of Walmsley Village Aged Care
Have questions? Come and chat to the team!

Playspace location within Kilsyth Reserve
Council uses the word playspace, instead of playground because it covers more than the equipment. It reflects the wide range of users, age groups and experiences of the community in the space.
This survey is looking for your feedback on how to improve this playspace for the future. If you need to report damaged or missing playspace equipment or any other playspace issues/concerns about other playspaces in Yarra Ranges, please Report an issue with a playspace Yarra Ranges Council.
The existing playspace will be renewed in line with the recommendations within the Playspace Plan 2019-2029. As this is a local-level playspace, large infrastructure such as water play, public toilets, shelters and BBQ's along with formal skate and bike activity spaces cannot be accommodated in the scope of these works.
The Kilsyth Recreation Reserve Master Plan was adopted by Council on 12 September 2023 and aims provide a comprehensive analysis and guidance for the future planning and programming of the Reserve to better accommodate it’s existing users, as well as providing opportunities for additional activities and uses.
Installation of new local level playground was identified as one of the actions in the Master Plan.
