The Education Directorate is refreshing Fraser Oval to create a natural, safe, fun and accessible space for students of Fraser Primary School to learn and play. The refreshed oval will also be a welcoming space for the wider community to enjoy outside school hours, supporting active and healthy lifestyles.
Last year, students, families, Traditional Owners and the wider community were asked to share their ideas on the Fraser Oval Refresh. Community were then invited to provide final feedback on the concept design in February-April 2026. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
The design is now being finalised. Site-establishment works commenced in May 2026.
The final community consultation on the concept design closed on 23 April and the feedback received has been provided to the project team.
The concept design can be viewed on the YourSay community conversations website project page: https://yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/fraser-oval-refresh. This will be updated with the final design in due course.
The work site has been established, including fencing, site office setup, and signage. Trenching for irrigation works is currently underway.
If you have any questions about this project, please contact ACT.Education@act.gov.au
Please note: This is an illustration only – see the project’s YourSay page, linked below, for the detailed concept design.
Community consultation: 26 February – 23 April 2026
The community is invited to share feedback on the concept design between 26 February and 23 April 2026. Via email to ACT.Education@act.gov.au or by phone on 0403 846 380.

From 19 June – 13 August 2025, the local community was invited to provide their ideas and suggestions for the design of the Fraser Oval Refresh Project.
Traditional Owners, students of Fraser Primary, parents, and local residents participated in-person and online to tell us what they would like to see in the refresh of the Fraser Primary School Oval. A Listening Report is now available, detailing everything heard from the community.
The ACT Government will be using the feedback to inform the concept design for the Fraser Oval Refresh with the community’s interests in mind. This design is being developed in consultation with the school and will be shared with the community for further comment and feedback.
The Fraser Oval Refresh Project is now in the design phase, and works are expected to commence during the 2026 school year.
More information about the Fraser Oval Refresh Project, including the public engagement process, can be found on the Your Say Conversations page here: https://yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/fraser-oval-refresh
The wider community is invited to provide their ideas for the Fraser Oval Refresh Project via a survey on the ‘YourSay’ community conversations platform between 19 June and 13 August.
