JANUARY 2023

The Fawckner Drive Precinct has been identified by Council as a key community outdoor space. The precinct is comprised of the Skate Park, BMX track, Basketball courts, RV parking, and green spaces surrounding the Library.

Council has received grant funding to activate the precinct through the use of public art, new community infrastructure, and other initiatives identified during consultation. Council has allocated additional funds from it's budget toward the revitalisation of the BMX track as result of community feedback during the last budget process.

The ensure the best result possible for the community Council have engaged open space specialists, Playce, to assist in the consultation and design process of a precinct plan. Playce have designed an 'Ideas Plan' to inspire community input for the potential opportunities for Fawckner Drive.

The final Fawckner Drive Masterplan will consolidate feedback from the community and Council to map out future possibilities for the precinct.


JUNE 2023 UPDATE

Playce have completed the Draft Fawckner Drive Masterplan Report for community feedback. The report maps out the potential future use of spaces within the Fawckner Drive Precinct. The Masterplan focusses on improving accessibility for all community members as well as creating opportunities for a broader range of activities for all ages in the precinct.

Masterplan highlights:

  • Social and Active play areas
  • Improved picnic and barbeque areas
  • Upgraded skate park and new pump track
  • Increased community market footprint with night market capability
  • Improved pedestrian connections
  • No removal of trees - increased planting

The delivery of projects identified within the Masterplan will follow a staged process based on feedback from consultation and the availability of grant funding. Further consultation will occur to produce the detailed design for each project.

We encourage community members and user groups to read through the report (listed in the Document Library) and share your thoughts in the form below.
