Project Update November, 2023

Thank you for your participation and interest in Highton Open Space Reserves project.

The City of Greater Geelong is inviting community members and stakeholders to have their say on a draft concept plan for Morena Street Reserve (Gully 3). The reserve is located at 33-49 Orana Road (Morena St) and 11-21 Old Flour Mill Road in Highton.

The reserve is currently undeveloped but there is an existing trail footprint, and drainage basin on the northern area of the reserve.

The first round of community engagement was conducted in August 2022, where the community told us their highest priority for the reserve is a good, sealed pedestrian connection providing access from north to south while retaining and enhancing the existing natural habitat. This has been prioritised in the draft concept plan to ensure it is included within the available budget.

The City has now developed a concept plan for the reserve based on the community feedback we received and the community aspirations for the reserve.

We are inviting our community to see the draft concept plan and we would love to hear what you think.

The outcome is a community-led concept plan to improve the reserve, enhancing the new growth area and providing spaces for social activities for locals and visitors.

Visit the Morena Street Reserve page to provide your feedback.

Thank you.
