An artist’s impression of the accessible amenities building and kiosk to be built at Foreshore Park.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe project also includes space for a future kiosk and will commence in May with the removal of the existing playground to pave the way for the construction of the amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the new amenities building is an essential step in delivering the adopted Harbour Foreshore Masterplan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The accessible amenities and future kiosk will complement other elements of the Harbour Foreshore Masterplan and enrich the park that Novocastrians and visitors know and love,” Cr Nelmes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centrepiece of the Masterplan will be Livvi\u2019s Place, an inclusive regional playground and waterplay area, designed in consultation with the community and Touched by Olivia, a charity dedicated to the delivery of inclusive playspaces across Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once completed, the playground area will have a distinctly Newcastle character and pay tribute to the city’s Aboriginal heritage. The precinct will also have a waterplay area unique to Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extensive tree planting and landscaping will be carried out throughout the precinct as part of the broader masterplan to significantly increase shade canopy and create greener public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amenities project is supported by the Newcastle Port Community Contribution Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
