Bass Coast Mayor, Cr Brett Tessari, commented that Guide Park was identified for an upgrade in the 2017 Bass Coast Playspace Strategy, with the current playspace installed in 2005.
"This is a major project, it’s estimated the cost for the implementation will be in the order of $1 million," Cr Tessari said.
"We are developing the plan this year in order to apply for funding in the following financial years."
"Just like any big project, it important that we get the plans right at the beginning, to ensure we end up with a playspace which can be used and enjoyed by everyone in the community for many years to come."
The plan includes a large mine themed slide structure, sand play, an accessible carousel and exercise equipment for older adults.
The plan is on exhibition until 10 February and seeking input from the community. For more information or to view the Plan and provide your feedback head to www.basscoast.vic.gov.au/guidepark
