Playground equipment at Maddingley Park has been missing since December, but Council says parents and kids can expect to see them back within the next three months.<\/p>\n

The swings were removed just before Christmas last year due to safety concerns, and Council has apologised for the wait, but said safety will always be its highest priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil removed two swing assemblies from Maddingley Park Adventure Playground on 22 December 2021, as a result of several safety related defects. Replacement assemblies have been ordered, with an expected installation timeframe of late May\/early June,\u201d Council CEO Derek Madden told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe delay in installing the replacement equipment is a result of a high demand of materials and labour shortages from the supplier. The fort and bridge structure were also barricaded off, preventing use, due to structural issues that are currently being investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Madden said Council apologises for any inconvenience this has caused.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the safety of playground users will always take precedence.\u201d<\/p>\n
