  • Darley Park Master Plan

    Moorabool Shire Council have engaged @leisure Planners to prepare a Master Plan for Darley Park, Bacchus Marsh.

    The master plan will provide a vision and strategic direction for future development and investment at the reserve.

    It will make recommendations based on a needs assessment at the reserve to provide justification for future developments.

    This plan will provide guidance for future strategic financial planning by Council and fundraising initiatives by the reserve user groups.

    Following a review of current usage, potential demand and consultation with existing user groups and the local community, @leisure will:

    • Complete an Issues Paper that will outline key challenges, constraints and opportunities
    • Develop a preliminary concept drawing for review
    • Provide recommendations with suggested timeframes for implementation and cost estimates
    • Submit a draft master plan to exhibit for stakeholder and public comment
    • Submit final master plan with approved site layout plan and proposed developments

    Have your say

    @leisure is seeking input from the community and stakeholders. We would like to know:

    • What do you value about Darley Park?
    • How could the park be improved?
