Great things are happening in your neighbourhood as we work to update our Civic Reserve Master Plan.
Civic Reserve is a 25-hectare park located on the corner of Mornington-Tyabb and Dunns Road in Mornington. The park is well used and much loved by nearby residents, as well as the wider peninsula community.
It is home to MPRG, Mornington Rose Garden, Oakhill Gallery and Civic Reserve Recreation Centre with its many user groups and sports clubs.
There's also a fenced off leash free dog park, playground, skate park, walking paths and two lakes with wild water birds.
The last Master Plan for the site was adopted in 2008 and is now outdated.
We're working on a new Master Plan for the site, and we'd love to hear from the community about how you use the site, how you rate the facilities and to hear your ideas for improvements to help inform the Plan.
What will happen with your feedback?
This is a first-round community consultation. We'll use all the community feedback received to develop the draft Civic Reserve Master Plan.
In mid-2023, the Draft Master Plan will be placed on public exhibition for you to review to ensure it is in line with community expectations.
HOW TO HAVE YOUR SAY
Community consultation is currently open and closes 15 March 2023.
