"Good fences make good neighbours," the old saying goes, but would you like to see one around the Cameron Park playground in Wellington?

Dubbo Regional Council wants to hear from residents and visitors who use the playground, on whether they want it fenced off.

The survey follows a Council resolution in October 2021 on the renewal of the Victoria Park Playground after which the situation at the Cameron Park playground was raised by community members.

This discussion led to councillors deciding to reallocate some of this funding from Victoria Park in Dubbo, to Wellington's Cameron Park playground for a suitable fence – subject to further community consultations.

“This consultation gives residents the opportunity to have their say and let council know if they would like to see a fence surrounding the Cameron Park playground or not,” Council's Manager of Recreation and Open Space, Ian McAlister, said.

“The fencing proposed would be similar to the Victoria Park Playground fencing in Dubbo, and we encourage residents to let us know what they think.

“It is only through consultation such as this that Council can make sure we understand what residents need within the community,” Mr McAlister said.

Dubbo Regional Council is now in a position to undertake the works and is asking the community to have their say.

Residents are invited to comment on this matter on Council’s website: dubbo.nsw.gov.au/public-exhibition.

Opportunity to provide feedback closes at 5pm on Thursday, April 20.
