In early 2024 a community reference group was formed to guide the development of a re-imagined masterplan for community facilities on Kings reserve. The reference group comprises of many members of IIW who have developed and are working to achieve the following vision statement:
"Kings Reserve will become a beautiful and vibrant inclusive community park, celebrating nature, sustainability, and heritage, and creating a profound sense of place. It will be well connected to its surroundings and provide a variety of experiences to meet the current and future needs of the community."
50% of detailed design drawings have been completed.
A Prudential Review is currently underway and will likely be considered by the Audit & Risk Committee on Friday 24 October 2025.
If the Prudential Review is endorsed, final plans and costs will be presented to Council on Tuesday 18 November 2025.
Following council approval, the project will go to tender, with construction works aiming to start around March 2026 (possibly earlier if the contractor is ready).
