Masterplan Implementation Update

Aldershot Reserve in St Albans Park is being upgraded in stages following the development of the master plan with input from the community.

The master plan was endorsed by Council in March 2021 and is available below and on our website.

Works are complete or underway for the following elements:

  • Dog park - construction complete 2024.
  • Half court and loop path - renewal complete 2024.
  • New play space - construction complete 2025.
  • Future works including toilet, pump track, fitness area and additional landscaping will be delivered thanks to a $1 million Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund grant from the Victorian Government.

Masterplan development process

We undertook two stages of community consultation during the design process.

  • In the first stage we gathered information from the community to assist with the preparation of a draft Concept Plan for Aldershot Reserve, St Albans Park. The initial feedback from the community was used to develop a concept design.
  • In the second stage of consultation the Concept Plan was shared with the community for feedback. 95% of respondents supported the plan.

The plan and supporting report was finalised and then endorsed by Council at the meeting held on 23 March 2021.
