Progress

Whilst that Council resolution is the first step in progressing works within the Pinnacle parkland, unfortunately, until that basin and a further basin to its south are delivered, we cannot construct the playground in the parkland (to avoid damage to that space given it is between the two and to ensure play activities are removed from work zones). The delivery of the second wetland retarding basin however will require an amendment to the Ballarat West Development Contributions Plan, which is currently being prepared by Council and in which, unfortunately, is a lengthy process. As such, at this time, the timing is unknown. However given we are now getting greater certainty on the detailed design of the wetlands, we will now be able to develop our plans for the Pinnacle playground so as it can be delivered soon after the required drainage infrastructure is in place. Please rest assured that we are committed to delivering the playground when practicably possible.

Further updates will be provided once available.
