Is there a fountain drinking bowl set up for dogs on the off lead area at Berridale Bay, I took my dog there for the first time today and I could not find anywhere for him to have a drink.

Hi, thanks for your query. Unfortunately there isn't a drinking bowl set up for dogs at this location, however your request has been passed on to the relevant area at Council for consideration in the future.
We have just had another round-a-bout put in on Central Avenue and Bulter Street, that makes 3 in the street. Is there any plans for a round-a-bout in Gatden road and Fletcher Avenue? I feel it will help the traffic flow for the Bowen Rd Primary School traffic

Hi Rach,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your ideas with us. At this current moment there are no plans for a roundabout in this location, but your suggestion has been passed along to the appropriate team for consideration.
I have noticed there is a few permit parking spots for business in glenorchy and moonah. These business are no longer there. Will these spots become available again coming up closer to the busy season. I find it hard for parking during this time, I doesn't seem right these spots are taken for an empty shop. What would have if someone was to park there, surely the permit would be invalid.

Hi Rach,
The permit parking spaces on private land, such as Northgate are requested by the owner to allow parking for their staff. Our parking officer often undertaken enforcement of these car parks but rely on the owner of the land to contact us is they wish to change them.
If you are able to let us know where these permit parking spaces are located, we would be more than happy to follow up with the car park owner. Thank you!
Hello, quite a few years ago there was a small park and basketball area down at the Westfield Reserve in Claremont.
I am wondering if there is going to be an updated park built there?

Hi Chantelle,
This area may be a site for a future small playground. However, there is a long list of existing playspaces that urgently need renewal. These are the current priorities. So, any new playground at Westfield is at least several years away.
Please see the below link to find out more information about current playground projects:
Are there any plans to redevelop Hestercombe Reserve in Granton. We live in a new subdivision in Granton, along with many others and there isn't a decent park to go with children. This park contains 2 swings and a rope net swing. The population has grown and the park/facilities have not changed or improved. There are many young families in the area.

As per the Playspace Strategy, the Hestercombe playspace is identified for renewal but not immediately. The current plans are for 2026.
There are some minor defects being rectified at Giblins this week, the bunting will be removed by the contractor once they finished work.
Can the park in Hestercombe Rd, Granton please be considered for an upgrade, it is very lacking for things for children to play on. Plus the busy swing has rusty sharp metal exposed. The playground needs address also with the fact it floods after heavy or constant rain fall as it currently sits below ground level. Also no secure fence to help keep young child safe and dogs out when the park is reasonably close to the road

Hi Angela,

Hi Maxine,
Unfortunately Johnston Street Reserve is among some of the few playspaces Council had earmarked for decommission. The equipment will be removed in due course, however the reserve will remain as public open space post removal of the equipment in the near future.
Council has a lot of play spaces that are approaching the end of their life that require renewal (44 in total) and have a major playground renewal program underway. Whilst we can’t upgrade everything at once, we have recently developed two destination playspaces (Benjafield Park, Moonah and Giblins Reserve, Goodwood) as well as progressing through a list various others across the municipality.

You've completed several playground upgrades recently which is fantastic.
Are there any plans for Cooinda Park (on Springfield Ave)?
This playground is very outdated.
