GLENWOOD PLAYGROUND UPDATE
Many people have asked me how long some of the master plan items will take to get action on. This is a good question as the full plan will cost millions of dollars, but as many people have said to me, and I agree, the kids playground is in my opinion a super top priority.

So I pushed for it to be officially included in the legal council minutes in this year’s budget that it is currently being worked on. I have spoken with my Councillor colleagues and expressed to them the importance of having this included. The playground design will include equipment for kids of all ages.

The image here is an extract of the minutes from that meeting

Glenwood Community Garden…. The start of a beautiful thing …. 🪴🌻🌱

PRESS RELEASE
GLENWOOD COMMUNITY SPACE MASTER PLAN UNVEILED

A new community centre, a playground, environmental space, a community garden and storage for community groups are among the key features of the Glenwood Community Space Master Plan.

At its meeting today, Fraser Coast Regional Council endorsed the Glenwood Community Space Master Plan as a guiding document for future development in the area.

Cr Phil Truscott said Council had worked with the local community over many months to develop the plan.

“Around 2000 people currently live in Glenwood with the area expected to grow significantly over the next 20 years, so it’s important to plan for the future,” he said.

“This plan covers almost 4 hectares of land, including the land at 5 Pepper Road that Council purchased in late 2022 as well as three adjoining parcels of land in Pepper Road and vacant land in Varley Road South.

“A key feature of the plan is a new community centre including a dedicated space for the Glenwood Ladies Shed group, storage for the evacuation/respite centre equipment, bookable office spaces, a kitchen, flexible internal open space and external toilets.

“Other features include new storage sheds, a community garden, a footbridge and a natural area with a shelter, seating and fauna educational signage.

“Council has listened to community feedback and amended the draft plan to include a new playground, with the design and installation of a playground to be considered as part of Council’s 2024/25 budget deliberations.

“It’s important to understand that this is a long-term plan that will be advanced as funding becomes available within Council’s budget and as grant opportunities emerge from other levels of government.

“We thank all the community groups and local residents for participating in the community engagement process.

“Council is committed to providing connected, inclusive communities and spaces, and that’s at the heart of this plan. It’s all about building better communities together.”

URGENT ACTION ENCOURAGED ….
Dear Glenwood Residents, in the best interest of our Community, I would like to encourage each and every one of you to have YOUR say and INPUT in regards to the Initial Masterplan proposal for Glenwood from Fraser Coast Council. This small window of opportunity closes MONDAY 19th November. PLEASE…. Let’s not waste this opportunity to shape Glenwood with the facilities and infrastructure we have longed for. The Council is asking us and If we don’t speak up NOW and say what we want we may not get another chance. The link for the survey and YOUR input is attached below. Thank you in advance.
Some of the suggestions so far ….
~Skate Park/Bike Bowl for Older children/teenagers
~ Playground for young children
~Women’s Shed (i.e. Re-vamp exisiting Community Centre Building for the Ladies Shed saving both time & money.
~Land for Wildlife/Education/Plantings/Wildlife Information Board or Station (I.e. Varley Rd South)
~ BBQ Areas
~ A Dog Park
~ Community Garden moved to be closer and part of the Community Hub.
~ Allocate the “old” Mens Shed to the “Glenwood Community Garden” (instantly providing infrastructure, shelter, storage and run off from Sheds for water and nearer “Community”).
~ More public/disability parking
(just some of the great suggestions I’ve heard mentioned)
We NEED the numbers and EACH and EVERY PERSONS input to help bring our vision and hope for the future of Glenwood Village to life. Let’s NOT waste this golden opportunity.
