Proposed Miller Park Upgrade - "Everyone Can Play"

Council has been awarded a grant proudly funded by the NSW Government under the Everyone Can Play program, designed to assist local Councils to enhance community playspaces for the use and enjoyment of all users, regardless of age, ability or background.

The grant provided by NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) has been targeted towards demonstrating opportunities that can be applied to small residential park playspaces to improve inclusivity in line with the NSW Government’s Everyone Can Play Guidelines.

Two residential playgrounds have been selected under this grant, being Gormans Hill Park in Gormans Hill and Miller Park in Windradyne.

Everyone Can Play is a program that delivers and advocates for inclusive play. Inclusive play means that everyone can play, no matter their age, ability, or background. Everyone Can Play is centred around addressing three simple questions:

1. Can I Get There

2. Can I Play

3. Can I Stay.

The NSW Government, in conjunction with Bathurst Regional Council is seeking input from the community, especially from residents within the local vicinity of the two parks, to help guide the upgrade design of theses parks to align with the principles of inclusive play.

Council encourages the community to complete the brief two minute survey to help inform the proposed upgrade at Miller and Gormans Hill Parks.
