Playtime is going to get even better with upgrades in the works for four parks across Melton, and council wants your thoughts on what will make your local parks even better.
Parks on Lavarack Street and Blackwood Drive in Melton South, Barwon Street in Taylors Hill and Landscape Drive in Hillside will be upgraded over the coming year – with new play equipment, sports facilities, gardens and trees, picnic areas and kickabout spaces planned.
Melton South Recreation Reserve on Lavarack Park will also see a new court space for ball games and a dedicated rock climbing wall.
Residents are invited to have their say on the concept plans for the parks and let Council know what features would make their park more usable, accessible and a more desirable place to spend more time.
Residents can have their say either online until August 6, or at one of council’s in-person drop-in sessions on Saturday, July 29.
The online surveys ask residents how satisfied they are with existing facilities, how they travel to the park, their opinion on proposed features, gives opportunity for further comments and gives an option to receive updates on the future of the parks.
The drop in sessions will be at Barwon Street Reserve, Taylors Hill, from 9.30am to 10:30am, Blackwood Drive Recreation Reserve, Melton South, from 9.30am to 10.30am, Melton South Recreation Reserve, Melton South, from 11am to 12pm, and Hillside Recreation Reserve, Hillside, from 11.00am to 12.00pm.
Melton mayor Lara Carli said all four parks will be transformed into exciting and modern play and recreation spaces for residents of all ages.
“Spaces like these keep communities connected and nurture a love for outdoor play in our
city’s kids,” she said.
“We need your help to dream up what these places should look like to suit your life.”
