Cameron Park Playground is set to undergo the installation of a fence. Recent consultation with the community saw overwhelming support for an enclosed playground due to safety concerns attributed to its proximity to the highway and river.

More recently, existing sandstone blocks were removed from the playground in early preparation for the installation and to sustainably support the Great Australian Stone Festival held in March.

Considerations for the fence design include its height, aiming for a proposed elevation of 1.1m above ground level. A balance between unobstructed views while maintaining the safety of children.

The project is scheduled to commence in early May 2024, weather permitting.

These works will not cause significant disruptions to the community. We acknowledge there will be times when access and noise may cause discomfort when visiting the area for families, visitors and cafe patrons. We appreciate your patience and supervision of children during these times.

Dubbo Regional Council resolved to hold a community consultation regarding Cameron Park Playground in the October 2021 Ordinary Meeting of Council.

Council is now seeking feedback from the community regarding whether this site should be fenced. Feedback can be submitted during this consultation period until 5pm Thursday 20 April 2023

If you haven’t already, we also encourage you to follow this project page for future updates.

Pending feedback on whether community members would like Cameron Park Playground to be fenced, Dubbo Regional Council will look to implement an approximate 130 metre long fenced outline similar to the guide shown below. The area will be planned to enclose the playground, whilst also maintaining access to the Maliyan Café and Cultural Centre, plaza and amenity block.
