Help shape the future of Charles Rooks Reserve

Charles Rooks Reserve in Nunawading is getting an upgrade and we want your input.

Following 2 rounds of community consultation, the Charles Rooks and Dagola Reserve Landscape Concept Plan was developed and endorsed in 2025.

As part of this plan, we’re excited to be delivering a range of improvements to the reserve. We’re now seeking community feedback on three specific elements of the planned improvements, including:

  • a renewed play space
  • installation of new fitness equipment
  • the colours for a new multi-purpose half-court

Your feedback will help shape the draft designs for the play space and fitness equipment, to ensure Charles Rooks Reserve continues to be a place everyone can enjoy.

The current play equipment is reaching the end of its useful life and is due for replacement, which was identified under the endorsed Landscape Concept Plan.

A single, well-designed play space will improve accessibility and offer a variety of play opportunities for all ages and abilities.

The upgrade of Charles Rooks will incorporate BBQ facilities, drinking fountain, seating and landscaping as well as a multi-purpose court, the play space and fitness equipment. This is all subject to approved future budgets.

Installing outdoor fitness equipment will provide recreational opportunities for physical and mental well-being, supporting a healthy and active community.
