Orange City Council advise that design consultancy Civille Pty Ltd  has been award the contract to develop the detailed design and construction drawings for the upgrade of  the Orange Adventure Playground.

The designs and drawings will deliver a clear picture of the infrastructure needed to bring the concept to life, which will also give Council an indication of the costs involved in making the project a reality.

Orange City Council Sport and Recreation Community Committee Chair, Tammy Greenhalgh advised “the Orange Adventure Playground has provided more than 20 years of enjoyment for children and families in Orange, and this is an opportunity to build on the unique character of the site to revitalise the space for everyone to enjoy.”

Civille also developed the Orange Adventure Playground Concept Design, which it delivered in April this year after extensive community consultation. Two rounds of consultation were held to develop the draft designs, which Civille used to develop the final concept design.

Once the detailed design and construction drawings are complete, they will be presented to Orange City Council and the community for approval before forming part of the tender process for engaging suitably qualified builders to construct the new play facility.

The upgrades will be delivered in stages depending on funding availability. Orange City Council has allocated $1.93 million to the project, which includes a $1.25 million grant from the NSW Government’s Resources for Regions program.

Most of the improvements will be delivered in stage 1 of the project which, due to the deteriorating condition of the existing playground, will focus on upgrading the main play areas, central meeting area and relocated picnic shelters, as well as the installation of a splash park and water play facility.
