Rotary Park Precinct Master Plan

Project Overview

online community engagement

The Rotary Park precinct is located in central Bacchus Marsh and includes a skate park, the Andy Arnold Centre, Young Street Kindergarten, a playground, rotunda, and open park space.

Moorabool Shire Council is developing a master plan for the Rotary Park precinct. The final plan will provide a strategic direction for future development and investment in the precinct. In anticipation of the final master plan, a draft concept plan has been developed, this concept plan provides an overview of where a proposed Youth Space and other park elements might be located. We are seeking feedback from the community on this proposed layout.

About the Master Plan

The Rotary Park Precinct Master Plan will help Moorabool Shire Council to set a vision for the precinct, guiding infrastructure development, future use, and investment.

A key part of this master plan project is to investigate the inclusion of a new Youth Space for young people, Youth Services programs, and events.

The final master plan of the precinct will provide recommendations on:

  • potential funding sources
  • facility locations and opportunities for their development and improvement
  • the connectivity between facilities, buildings, and open recreation areas
  • play space locations and elements
  • passive and recreation opportunities
  • the amount of open space and its future use
  • the provision of toilets and accessible toilets
  • landscaping plans.

How you can get involved

Community Survey

We have prepared a draft concept plan of the precinct and are seeking community feedback on the proposed layout: what you like about it, and what you think could be improved.

More specifically, the survey will ask:

  • how often you use the precinct and how you get there
  • what you primarily use it for
  • what you would like to see improved
  • which existing activities or facilities you think should not be retained
  • which activities or facilities not currently in Rotary Park you would like to see provided
  • which element of Rotary Park you think should be a priority for future funding and development.

FAQS

We are undertaking the Rotary Park Master Plan to provide strategic direction for future development and investment in assets, infrastructure, and services in the precinct—including provision for a Youth Space. The final master plan will include a rationale and justification for its recommendations based on current and future community needs for the site. This project is an action outlined in the 2017- 2021 Council Plan.

We have prepared a draft concept plan of the precinct and are seeking the community’s feedback on the proposed layout: what you like about it, and what you think could be improved.

More specifically, the survey will ask:

  • how often you use the precinct and how you get there
  • what you primarily use it for
  • what you would like to see improved
  • which existing activities or facilities you think should not be retained
  • which activities or facilities not currently in Rotary Park would you like to see provided
  • which element of Rotary Park you think should be a priority for future funding and development.

No, we are not seeking detailed feedback from the Community at this time. However, we welcome general feedback on the proposed location and nature of park features (e.g., the skate park, proposed Youth Space, etc.) as outlined in the concept plan. Further detailed feedback, such as the number of skate bowls preferred, will be sought if the project receives funding.

There is no funding for projects identified in this master plan. Funding opportunities will be sought and, when confirmed, the community will be consulted again regarding the details of any planning and development.
