Provide active and passive recreation facilities to meet the needs of residents.
Design Bunyip Soccer Stadium.
An architect was appointed and a draft concept
and schematic design was completed for the
new soccer pavilion in consultation with club.
The optimum location for the pavilion has been
finalised in consultation with the club and detailed
design of the soccer pavilion is underway. The
project has been delayed due to issues with
siting of the pavilion and service provision issues
requiring investigation. The project will be carried
forward into 2018–19.
Design redevelopment of Cora Lyn Reserve pavilion. This is a user group and Committee of
Management driven project, with additional
external funding required to meet user group
expectations. A funding application was submitted
for Building Better Regions Fund, with an outcome
expected mid 2018. Initial discussions have
been held with the user groups and committee
of management to discuss the scope of the
pavilion redevelopment. The pavilion design can’t
be progressed until the outcome of the funding
application is known. This project will be carried
forward into 2018–19.
Start the design stage of the Worrell Reserve
Sports Pavilion.
Continue to support committees to protect and
maintain existing reserves of high environmental
significance including grants to each of the
‘friends’ groups.
Implement actions identified in Equestrian Strategy
adopted in 2013–14, including Wrights Forrest
(Cockatoo) perimeter track and road crossing in
Huxtable Road Reserve (Pakenham) precinct.
The budget for the Worrell Reserve pavilion was reevaluated
in preparation for the design stage. The
project scope was formalised and quotations were
sought from design consultancies. The principal
consultant was engaged and they are developing
the schematic stage, after consultation with
the club representatives has been undertaken.
The consultant is working to prepare relevant
documentation up to tender stage.
Community grants were finalised to 13 community
friends groups and wildlife shelters. Funding
included refunds for insurance costs to ensure
groups were comprehensively protected in
their volunteer work. Friends groups were key
contributors to the Environment and Heritage
team’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy
workshops. The Natural Reserves Bushland team
have commenced working with community groups
to provide advice, undertake weed control, and
prepare sites for revegetation during winter
and spring.
Works to implement the 2014 Equestrian Strategy
continued, including the installation of equestrian
signage along Huxtable Road to identify the
roadside trail, vegetation management works, and
the off-road trail along the Crane Road access
path. Liaison with Parks Victoria continues to
ensure equestrian linkages are maintained around
Wrights Forest Bushland Reserve.
