The public RV dump point in Mansfield has been relocated from near the Visitor Information Centre to its new location on Withers Lane, at the Goulburn Valley Water depot.

An RV dump point is a designated facility where Recreational Vehicle (RV) and caravan users can safely and hygienically dispose of their grey water (from sinks and showers) and black water (from toilets).

The move marks a significant milestone in the development of the Mansfield Station Precinct, making way for the upcoming all-abilities playground.

The all-abilities playground is a key feature of the Station Precinct Masterplan, designed to provide a welcoming, safe and accessible play space for children and families of all ages and abilities.

Mayor Cr Steve Rabie said the relocation was a practical step that paved the way for a fantastic new community asset.

"We're incredibly excited to be moving forward with the all-abilities playground.

"This will be a wonderful centrepiece for the Station Precinct, creating a space where children of all abilities can play together," said Cr Rabie.

"This project will provide a much-needed place for local and visiting families to get out there, enjoy the space and have fun for many years to come."

The proposed playground design includes a wide range of inclusive features, such as accessible swings, a wheelchair-friendly carousel, sensory play elements like tactile and music panels, and quiet zones to support neurodiverse children.

The all-abilities playground will also include a modern changing places facility to support people with high physical needs.

Cr Rabie also confirmed that the community will have the opportunity to shape the new play space.

"As always, we will be asking and we will be listening.

"We will show the community the designs and consider the community’s feedback in the final decision,” he said.

While the new dump point doesn’t currently have access to potable (drinking) water yet, the installation of both potable and recycled water services is planned for within coming months.
