Council has approved for the construction of basketball half court at Salli and John Mitchell Park in Redlynch to be considered in future budget deliberations.

A petition tabled at the Council Ordinary Meeting in January, requested for the construction of the basketball half court to be reconsidered.

A similar proposal for this park – which contains play and fitness equipment, seating, pathways and landscaping – was considered several years ago but did not progress due to some community objection.

Community consultation was undertaken for a two-week period in March 2020, with 63 letters sent to residents in the vicinity, with four responses received by Council – one objecting to the proposal, one neutral and two supportive.
