We refurbished Mitchell Park Kindergarten. It looks and functions better, and is safer for children and staff.

We installed:

  • new internal walls and doors
  • double-glazed windows
  • a new carpet
  • a secure entry foyer
  • vinyl floor coverings.

We upgraded the bathroom to include a bath, change table, storage and preparation spaces. We also extended the veranda. Outside we refurbished the external cladding and installed secure perimeter fencing.

About the project

We upgraded the outdoor environment and landscaping.

This included:

  • a new cubby and natural play fort
  • concrete paved pathways
  • soft-fall surfacing
  • an enhanced sandpit to make the space more accessible to children of all abilities.

There is now a yarning circle complete with fire pit – creating a culturally safe, inviting space for our community. We also installed vegetable garden beds and planted Indigenous vegetation and fruit trees.

We built a dry riverbed to tie the spaces together.
