Have your say on Maddingley Park

Moorabool council are seeking community feedback on their Maddingley Park upgrade master plan.

Following previous community consultation, the Draft Maddingley Park Master Plan is now available for review.

The draft master plan presents a vision for the future of Maddingley Park in Bacchus Marsh based on increasing sport and recreation demand and the need to conserve the historic park values.

In its current version, plans for the park include a multitude of changes such as extending the tennis hardcourts with a netball court and change rooms upgrade, new cricket nets, upgrading the oval’s sports pavilion and change rooms, reinstating heritage paths, new wetlands, new playgrounds, and enhanced picnic shelters.

The plan also includes the removal of the hexagonal toilet block and replacing it with a new central central toilet facility which allows more direct access to stalls and better sight lines for safety.

The Draft Maddingley Park Master Plan plan follows an original master plan in 2009, a landscape masterplan in 2012, and community consultation earlier in 2022.

The plan is available for review until Saturday, December 3. Residents can view the full plan and leave their review on the Moorabool council website.
