Firestone Park, Augusta

The Shire has received funding to start the renewal of Firestone Park in Augusta!

In 2021 we engaged local residents asking for feedback on a concept plan we had designed for Firestone Park.

Most comments were supportive, and there were some consistent themes including:

• Footpath access to town - The footpath was recently completed - see https://www.amrshire.wa.gov.au/shire-and-council/news/connecting-our-pathways.
• Irrigating the turf - The Shire is in discussions with the Water Corporation to request permission to utilise potable (drinking) water. We are unsure of the outcome given our drying climate. We will keep you informed of how this discussion progresses.
• A desire for nature-based playground equipment - Letters have been sent to local residents inviting them to help choose what equipment will be installed with a $70,000 budget.

The northern part of the path, the shelter, and playground will be installed by June 2025. Landscaping will occur in the years to come.

Keep an eye out for project updates and progress photos, which we will be posting to this page!
