Highett Village Green. Have Your Say!-Community consultation
Closes 15th November 2026
Bayside City Council is seeking community feedback on proposed improvements to Highett Village Green, located on Graham Road in front of Highett Common.
The Highett Progress Association has been advocating for improvements to this park since its inception, raising ongoing concerns about the safety, functionality and lack of engagement offered by the existing playground.
Our previous community survey reinforced these concerns, highlighting that the playground has failed to meet the needs of local children and families.
With so few public open spaces in Highett, it’s critical we get this right for our growing community.
Council has allocated $100,000 towards improvements, including play equipment, landscaping and pathways.
While we welcome this investment, HPA is concerned that $100,000 is insufficient to deliver meaningful playground improvements if spread across multiple projects.
We believe upgrading the play equipment should be the priority, with landscaping considered separately through future funding.
YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS!
If you’ve visited the park, we strongly encourage you to share your experiences and concerns directly with Council. Your feedback is essential to ensuring the proposed improvements deliver a safe, functional and engaging space for our community.
