The works include the provision of appropriate safety surfacing in accordance with relevant standards and the design and installation of a layout that facilitates maintenance access between the equipment. The playground must provide accessible and inclusive play opportunities for children aged 0-15 years and include hardwood construction with galvanised or equivalent metal shoes, equipment suitable for a range of ages and abilities, and a themed communication panel. The design should be visually sensitive to the surrounding memorial setting, using natural tones, sympathetic design approaches and equipment that complements the peaceful character of the site. The Council requires a subtle military or "Army-style" theme within at least one significant feature of equipment and welcomes consideration of a horse-themed roundabout or similar equipment as a reference to the historic Turners Merry-go-round.
