The Final Master Plan for East Burwood Reserve in Burwood East was formally endorsed by Council on 23 October 2023.
Council would like to thank everyone who provided feedback and input to help shape the Master Plan for East Burwood Reserve.
The Master Plan sets a comprehensive direction for the future, focusing on both active and open spaces to meet the needs of our growing community over the next 15 years.
Implementation of the Plan:
The Final Master Plan for East Burwood set out a number of priorities. As we move forward, Council are taking steps to progressively deliver key initiatives outlined in the Master Plan, focusing on detailed planning and design, securing funding, and coordinating with community stakeholders to bring these improvements to life in a timely and effective manner.
Key highlights of the Plan are:
Look and feel
Public art and feature planting at the main entrance of the reserve along Burwood Highway
Reconfiguring the buildings to increase the visibility of the green open space to the highway
Carpark and internal roads
Simplify internal roads at the reserve to a two-way route
Maintain the current level of car parking in the short term, with the potential for more parking spaces as part of the future basketball stadium redevelopment
Promoting the use of public transport to access the reserve
Casual recreation opportunities
Develop a 2.5m wide shared pedestrian and bike path circuit
Build a municipal-level play and communal space including play equipment, BBQs, shelters and public toilets at the north-westerncorner of the reserve
A new youth area including pump track (special bike track), a multipurpose court and skating elements at the south-western part of the reserve
Fenced dog park at the south-western part of the reserve
Sporting facilities
Renew and upgrade sporting facilities including the athletic track, ovals, velodrome and tennis courts
Progressively renew and upgrade sports pavilions. Shared-use facilities will be explored to increase the use and benefits of the pavilions.
Landscape and environmental initiatives
Mini-arboretum(botanical garden) to trial climate-resilient tree species within an environmental sensitive area
A series of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) features across the reserve, including at the car park, mini-arboretum, play and communal spaces and more
