Hilltops Council adopted proposed locations for shade sails to be erected at the most recent November Ordinary Meeting.

Councillors were given a report for note the proposed parks and playgrounds for shade sail installation in 2024/2025.

According to the report at the April 2024 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to allocate $150,00 from the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCIP) Phase 4 to the Hilltops Park and Playground Upgrades.

"A review has been conducted across all parks in the local government area to identify where shade sails are required," the report read.

"The proposed funding allocation may not be able to cover the entire playground or park with the most suitable option selected but will provide coverage for the most used play areas of the selected parks."

The proposed locations were selected based on visitor usage, exposure to sun and other assets offered.

The adopted table showed that Boorowa Skate Park and Coddington Park in Harden would both receive shade sails with the estimated cost of $37,500 each and Tresillian Park in Young with an estimated cost of $75,000.

The recommendation to receive and note the report and to adopt the proposed projects was moved by Cr Alison Foreman and Cr Matthew Stadtmiller and was moved by Cr Blackwell, Cr Davis, Cr Douglas, Cr Flanery, Cr Foreman, Cr Gallo, Cr Ingram, Cr Langford, Cr Mackay and Cr Stadtmiller. Cr Dodd was not in the meeting at the time of the matter.
