Elaine Recreation Reserve Master Plan

Project Overview

The draft Elaine Recreation Reserve Master Plan is now open for public exhibition. Council is inviting community feedback on the draft plan, which will guide the future planning and development of the recreation reserve.

Project Update

Thanks to everyone who shared their feedback, we heard some clear priorities from the community. These included upgrading the sporting facilities (especially the pavilion and oval), improving drainage and water catchment, making car parking and site access easier, and boosting overall amenity with better lighting, seating, shelter and active recreation options.

All 12 submissions were reviewed and helped shape the final master plan. Based on this input, we made several updates, most notably refining the concept plan to ensure the oval upgrade meets Cricket Victoria’s minimum standards, supporting both local use and organised sport.

The master plan will now go to the August 2026 Ordinary Meeting of Council for adoption. Once adopted, the priority projects identified will be considered for inclusion in future Capital Improvement Programs as part of Council’s planning and investment process.

Council has developed a draft Master Plan for the Elaine Recreation Reserve, which will guide how the Reserve is planned for and improved over the next decade.

In August 2025, we asked the Elaine community and the wider Moorabool Shire for feedback on how the Reserve is currently used and your ideas for its future. Your input has helped shape the draft Elaine Recreation Reserve Master Plan.

We are now inviting the community to review the draft Master Plan and share further feedback to help finalise the plan before it is presented to Council for adoption.
