Help us finalise the draft concept designs

Earlier this year we asked for your ideas to make Beevers and Bell reserves even better. You told us you’d like improved play areas, better park facilities, more trees and greenery, and safe, more useful spaces.

There were mixed views about adding a public toilet at Beevers Reserve at Wales Street (51% for/49% against), but support for closing Coronation Street at Bell Reserve.

We now need your feedback to make sure the final concept designs reflect the Kingsville community's values and priorities. This includes feedback on the proposed public toilet at Beevers Reserve and feedback on the proposed closure of Coronation Street at Bell Reserve.

You can learn more about the draft concept designs and key findings from Phase 1 engagement below.

The draft concept designs and full Community Engagement Summary report are also available in the Document Library.
