Project Update

The master plan was endorsed at the Council Meeting on Tuesday 20 August, following extensive community consultation.

The VR Michael Reserve Master Plan describes short, medium and long-term improvements proposed for the reserve. These upgrades will improve the functionality and accessibility of the reserve and create a welcoming and enjoyable space for all.

We developed the plan after listening to ideas and feedback from the community and other groups.

The master plan includes a range of recommendations, including:

  • Lighting and wayfinding signage
  • Additional car park bays through the extension of the main carpark
  • Improvement of accessibility for Bocce Social Club users
  • Relocation of the toilet block
  • Relocation and upgrade of the playground, along with the addition of a new nature play area
  • Fenced unstructured dog off-leash area
  • Landscaping Improvements
  • Outdoor gathering spaces
  • Diverse informal recreation facilities such as a basketball half-court, table tennis tables, skate features, bouldering wall and fitness stations.
