The playground is being upgraded in accordance with the NSW Government’s Everyone Can Play Guidelines, A Guideline to Create Inclusive Playspaces where play is for everyone in the community.
The guidelines have been designed by the NSW Government to provide councils, schools, landscape architects and the general community with a toolkit to create more inclusive playspaces.

Total project funding (external) = $600,000
Community Strategic Plan (CSP) link
Feedback from the Tathra / Kalaru area in response to the “Understanding Our Place” community engagement process, which subsequently informed the CSP, included “improved recreation facilities and spaces”. This feedback links to CSP Outcome 1 Active and Healthy Communities; specifically the second goal of this outcome of “access to good quality recreation and sporting facilities”.
