Works have officially commenced on the Carberry Drive Recreation Reserve upgrade in Hopetoun Park, with preliminary site works underway.
With a significant population growth and development, Moorabool shire has received an increased demand for public recreation and open space facilities, according to mayor Steve Venditti-Taylor.
“Hopetoun Park has undergone significant population growth and development, resulting in increased demand for public recreation and open space facilities so it’s pleasing to be able to give this growing community a new recreation space,” he said.
“We’re excited to have started works on upgrading the Carberry Drive Recreation Reserve in Hopetoun Park.”
Works include removal of the existing play structure and an installation of new, modern play structures including a community swing and an accessible spinner among other play equipment.
Other upgrades also include a drinking water fountain, improvements made to the surrounding walking paths, landscape upgrades and drainage improvement works, a basketball court, new doggy bag dispensers, new rubbish bins and bike hoops to boost recreational use by local cyclists.
Cr Venditti-Taylor said works are expected to be completed by mid-2026, with updates made on council’s social media pages.
“We’re expecting the new playground to be complete by mid-2026. Keep an eye on our website and our socials for updates on this exciting project,” he said.
