Get ready to vote for a Coal Point Community Project!

Coal Point Public School has submitted a wonderful project to provide creative, explorational and passive play activities against the backdrop of the natural bushland setting, within the school grounds and accessible for all to use. The project is to create a naturespace for the school and wider community to gather, make connections and enjoy healthy outdoor exercise during leisure time.

Designed as an 'Everyone Can Play' space, it will be accessible by a wide, pram and

wheelchair friendly path from the Rofe St entrance and it will be the first playspace of its type on our peninsula.

The project will create a naturescape of activity zones, interwoven gardens and winding paths, by revitilising school grounds that border the bushland. This will benefit school families, walkers travelling on the bush trail and the fitness conscious; making a desirable space for people to gather and enjoy the outdoors. The public school grounds are open in holidays, so the whole community can access the naturescape during extended leisure time. 

Between 15 July and 15 August you will be able to vote for the inaugural round of My Community Projects that you want delivered in our local area. This program is funded by the NSW Government and aims to improve the wellbeing of people and communities in NSW, across six categories: accessible communities, cultural communities, healthy communities, liveable communities, revitalising communities and safe communities.

Voting takes place online, or in person at any Service NSW Service Centre and you can only vote once. You are eligible to vote if you are 16 years and over with a valid Medicare card and have, or register for, a MyServiceNSW Account.  You will be able to select three to five projects as part of your vote.
