​​​Following community consultation in 2024, we engaged Phoebe Gordon from Plot Design to develop a Landscape Master Plan for Light Street Park, generously supported by the Griffith Narrabundah Community Association (GNCA).

​

The Plan provides a longer-term vision for improving the park, reflecting ideas and feedback from our local community while preserving the open, relaxed character of Light Street Park.

​

The Kurrajong trees planted by TCCS around the exercise area are a wonderful addition to the park. As they grow, they will provide much-needed shade while adding to the park's character and environmental value. We hope to build on this approach through further appropriate tree planting and landscaping across the park.

 

Some of the longer-term ideas include:

• additional trees and rejuvenation of existing garden areas;

• sensory garden and nature-play elements;

• better connections between the playground, exercise area, gardens and seating;

• additional seating and tables; and

• renewal of the children's playground to improve accessibility and safety.

 

Importantly, we want to retain plenty of open green space for informal recreation — whether that's a picnic, Finska, boules, badminton, kicking a ball or simply letting the kids run around.

Where are we up to?

 

In August 2026, TCCS Place Management completed its initial review of the Landscape Master Plan, providing valuable feedback and support for a number of proposed elements, including additional seating and landscaping.

 

We are now working with Plot Design to refine the Plan in response to TCCS feedback, including planting locations, materials and some design elements.

 

Once updated, detailed plans will be submitted to TCCS for further endorsement, with implementation occurring progressively as funding becomes available.

 

The Master Plan is a long-term vision rather than a commitment that everything will happen at once. Larger improvements, including paths, seating and playground renewal, will depend on future funding and TCCS approval.

​

We'll keep the community updated as the plan progresses.
