Manningham Council is inviting community feedback as it develops a new masterplan for Timber Reserve in Doncaster.
Manningham Mayor Cr Deirdre Diamante, who is the Councillor for Tullamore Ward, encouraged residents and reserve visitors to get involved.
“We want to hear how you use Timber Reserve and your ideas for how we can make it even better,” Cr Diamante said.
“The 4.6ha reserve is a much-loved space for formal and informal sport and recreation including soccer, cricket, walking, jogging, and dog exercise. It also features two playgrounds for children to enjoy.
“Your feedback will help us create a master plan that supports sport and recreation for all members of our community for many years to come,” Cr Diamante said.
The Timber Reserve masterplan will assess the current sporting infrastructure, explore how the area is used, and identify opportunities for future improvements.
Community members are invited to complete a survey at Your Say Manningham.
The consultation is separate to that by Victoria’s Big Build on behalf of Yarra Valley Water regarding a pressure reducing station at the reserve as part of the North East Link Project.
