Stage 2 construction works for the Rhyll Playspace behind the Rhyll Angling Club are set to begin on 14 March 2023.
The Rhyll Playspace project will complete the play-space upgrade at Rhyll by providing a nature-themed children's recreation area. The works will include construction of a play tower, installation of a spiral slide and a connection bridge between the two towers, seating, landscaping, boardwalks, and pathways.
Council wishes to advise the start of Stage 2 on Rhyll Playspace, behind the Rhyll Angling Club, will begin in March 2023

Council has appointed Planned Construction Pty Ltd after a competitive open tender process. The total project cost is approximately $300,000 and is jointly funded by the Victorian government's Growing Suburb Fund and council's capital works open space renewal program 2022/23.
