Bungendore Playground Update: The Bungendore playground, co-funded by the State and Federal governments under the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, is expected to begin construction in January 2022. The designs have been approved by the local Bungendore Playground Working Group who have been shaping this project alongside council. Currently the existing shade frame is being repainted and water services beneath the site are being relocated. Trees that were removed from the site due to poor condition will be re-purposed as part of the nature play section of the playground. For more information on the project head here.
