The City will be upgrading Lakemba Reserve with the aim of enhancing the reserve’s functionality, accessibility, and overall appeal.
The works will include:
- Installation of new upgraded basketball court
- Constructing a resting node with a shelter and a BBQ
- Constructing a footpath with park benches to improve accessibility and connectivity
- Introducing flying fox equipment to support imaginative and active play.
Through these targeted improvements, the upgrade seeks to create a more welcoming, resilient, and engaging environment that better supports recreation and meets the needs of the local community.
Project timeline
Works are expected to begin in the 2026/2027 financial year.
Notice: Zero Tolerance for Abusive and Anti Social Behaviour
The City of Rockingham is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for our staff, contractors and the wider community.
Abusive, aggressive, or threatening behaviour towards City staff or contractors- whether in person, over the phone, or in writing - will not be tolerated.
Any such behaviour will result in further action as appropriate. We thank you in advance for treating our staff with courtesy and respect.
This is part of the City’s Parks Improvement Plan to upgrade and enhance reserves within the City of Rockingham.
The surface of the basketball court is currently in poor condition and due for a renewal. As part of this project, it presented an opportunity to upgrade the court to help create a more cohesive and functional activity node within the reserve.
The mulch that will be installed are specific soft fall mulch, designed for playgrounds. Soft fall mulch was chosen to minimise the frequency of maintenance and will comply with the Australian Standard AS 4422:2022 – Playground Surfacing.
There will be temporary fencing installed with no public access to part of the park while the works are underway.
Works are expected to occur in the 2026/2027 financial year.
