Council is seeking feedback on the new informal recreation area planned for Frederick Wachter Reserve in Keysborough.
Your feedback will help us to shape the design of the informal recreation spaces and you can have your say on the types of recreational activities that we are proposing.
Project Information
This project is part of the Frederick Wachter Reserve Master Plan.
The Frederick Wachter Reserve Master Plan 2019 identified that this reserve does not have any informal recreational facilities for the community to use, such as a multi-purpose court.
An Implementation Plan will guide the staged construction program.
The funding of these capital works projects is subject to future capital improvement bids being supported through council’s annual budget process.
The draft concept plan proposes 3 recreation activity zones and a picnic zone located near the existing playground.
The initial ideas for recreation facilities include:
- full size multi-purpose court area with basketball and futsal goals
- practice basketball hoop area
- practice netball goals
- practice hoops at different heights that cater to all ages and abilities
- pump track
- rebound wall and quarter court with multiple sports markings (tennis, cricket and handball)
- bouldering
- rock climbing structure on rebound wall.
You can also tell us your ideas and suggestions for other recreational facilities that you would like to see included.
- the proposed location of the recreational spaces
- the existing playground
- the public toilet facility.
- shelters
- seating areas
- picnic and BBQ area
- drinking fountain
- path network
- grassed areas
- new trees and garden beds.
