Blackbutt Reserve playground
A new regional playground will be built at Blackbutt Reserve with the help of funding from the Australian Government's Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. 
The playground will be designed for 2 to 10 year olds and a concept plan has been developed with a Bower Bird theme.
The project is valued at $325,000, and new playground is being built at the Carnley Avenue entrance adjacent to the Creek Shelter.
