Lot 1. 1. New play zone - Area 1 (Lot 1)
Description
Area 1 - Replacement play zone
TThe play area was built in 2000, with the current equipment was installed in 2011. Although the play area is well-used, the equipment is dated and limited. The colours are overly muted, and it does not appear as an attractive destination for play.
A replacement play zone is required for this area which is inclusive and accessible, provides interest and challenge for all, and helps to develop character in the town centre.

The existing bandstand is a key feature within West Street and is regularly the focal space for community events. However, the bandstand looks dated, and the structural timbers supporting the canopy significantly restricts the space beneath, limiting opportunities for performance and events.
• Replacement bandstand.
• Incorporation of additional new seating (in conjunction with Lot 3).
• Installation of bandstand and seating (responsibility of selected contractor or FBC)
