City seeks input into Moorpanyal Park Master Plan

The City of Greater Geelong is inviting input from the community to assist in developing a Master Plan for North Shore's Moorpanyal Park, located to the north of the Spirit of Tasmania's new home at Corio Quay.

Moorpanyal Park is a district level park located in North Shore, directly adjacent to Corio Bay.

The park currently has a barbecue and table settings, public toilets and a recently upgraded playground.

The Master Plan was identified and funded by Council as a priority in the 2021/22 budget and will provide guidance to the City in identifying priorities for improvements within the reserve.

To help inform the Final Master Plan, the City will provide a variety of opportunities for community members to contribute to the conversation including:

  • The opportunity to complete a survey by going to Have Your Say
  • Onsite engagement on Saturday 13 May 13 2023 between 10:00am and 1:00pm.

To share your thoughts on the Moorpanyal Park Master Plan, visit the Have Your Say page to complete a survey.

The opportunity to provide feedback closes on Monday 29 May 2023.

Mayor Trent Sullivan

I welcome the opportunity for the community to contribute to any development of Moorpanyal Park.

The development of the Spirit of Tasmania's new home near Moorpanyal Park has changed the landscape of this important northern suburb precinct significantly.

As a Council it's important that we understand how Moorpanyal Park has been used in the past and what the community's hopes are for it in the future, so we urge community members to have their say on the draft master plan.

Deputy Mayor Anthony Aitken

Community members should take the opportunity to contribute to plans for what is a unique part of the northern suburbs.

With its sandstone cliffs and sweeping views of Geelong CBD, Moorpanyal Park is something of a hidden treasure tucked away in the City's north.

In the past the North Shore Residents Group has been the driving force for change, dedicated to their vision of turning this space into a well-managed and cared for coastal reserve.

But just as the park was transformed years ago it is important to consider how it will be used in the future and that's why community input is vital.
