From 2009: It can be a frustrating wait for residents with young children who have requested shade cloth for their neighbourhood park. However, two more local parks have been provided with shade cloth by Council’s Park’s team. The Llewellyn Street Park in Bentley Park and Milky Pine Park on Anderson Road in Bayview Heights have been the most recent parks to be funded for shade cover.
Cr. Pyne said, “I have had several requests for shade cloth on parks in Forest Gardens. Unfortunately, this development was approved ‘just before’ shade cover became a mandatory requirement imposed on all new developments. This means the long-suffering ratepayer will have to foot the bill. So while I am working with staff to cover swings in these parks as well, limits on our budget mean it will not happen anytime soon.” However, he added “On a positive note it has been a welcome development to see new swings and play equipment in Harlequin Street and Bak Park in White Rock.
