    The City is required to obtain development approval in order to construct the All Abilities Play Space.

    Regulation of development along the river foreshore is a complex process involving various government agencies. The City has formally lodged a Part 5 Application for Development with the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW).

    Having lodged the application, the next step is for DPaW to refer the application to stakeholders for comment in order to prepare a recommendation for the Minister of Environment. If viewed favourably, the Minister will provide approval to commence development of the All Abilities Play Space.
