Bass Coast Shire Council invites community for feedback on Graydens Reserve's design via survey or sessions by 30 August 2024
Council seeks feedback on the Graydens Reserve draft design, featuring accessible paths, a nature-themed playspace, extra trees, and a beginner skate park, feedback via survey or attend sessions on 8 August 8. Consultations end August 30, 2024.
A draft concept design for Graydens Reserve in Newhaven is now available and Bass Coast Shire Council is asking for your feedback. Earlier this year we asked the community for their thoughts on what the future of Graydens Reserve could look like.
Graydens Reserve, a vibrant hub at Phillip Island's gateway, offers basketball, playgrounds, and green spaces. To meet evolving needs, council plans to upgrade it while accommodating future roundabout construction by Regional Roads Victoria
Concept design highlights
Bass Coast Mayor Cr Clare Le Serve explained what we heard from the community about this loved and well-used community park. "The design brings together a large amount of community consultation. The key themes we heard from our community include the desire to keep all the trees and maintain the open green space within the Reserve."
"Graydens Reserve is known for being a popular place for families and friends to gather and socialise. It was important for the design to appeal and be suitable for all age groups" Cr Le Serve said.
Draft design features
With this in mind, the draft concept design includes:
- Accessible pathways with seating and picnic table
- Relocated playspace which includes a nature-based theme with climbing elements and a basket swing while making the most of natural shade
- Additional trees and gardens
- Small beginner-level skate park
- Addition of netball and soccer goals onto the existing basketball half-court
This design also takes into account the future plans of Regional Roads Victoria for Phillip Island Road.
Share feedback online
There are a range of ways you can share your feedback including a survey and drop-in sessions. To fill out the survey visit Engage Bass Coast website.
Information sessions will be held at the Reserve on Thursday, 8 August from 1.00pm to 2.00pm and 3.00 to 4.00pm. Come along and you can view the concept design and have a chat with officers. Consultation closes on Friday, 30 August 2024.
