Why has this Masterplan been developed?
The East Burwood Reserve Masterplan has been developed to help holistically guide the renewal of the reserve’s aging facilities. It will also address the significant shift in community’s needs for open space in the past decade. We want to make sure the reserve continues to be a valued asset for our community now and into the future.
What consultation has been undertaken with the community so far?
From July to August 2022, we consulted with the reserve’s sporting clubs, the community and other relevant stakeholders.
A community open day was also held on Saturday 16 July 2022. More than 40 people attended the community event and discussed their ideas and issues using the reserve. We received 647 responses in total from the community through our online survey. These responses have informed the content of the Masterplan.
