The City of Whittlesea would like to thank the community for its strong participation in the recent consultation on the Lauries Field draft master plan.
Council is now reviewing all feedback and considering updates to the draft master plan. Once a revised version is ready, the community will have another opportunity to share their thoughts before the final plan is presented to Council for endorsement.
Council is pleased that so many people care deeply about their local park and took the time to share their thoughts on the draft master plan.
The six-week consultation period included community pop-up sessions, an information session, email submissions, and an online survey.
During the consultation, Council received a wide range of ideas and suggestions. Key themes that emerged include:
- Support for the lake to remain in its current form rather than being converted into an ephemeral wetland.
- Strong support for playground renewal and maintaining the natural aesthetic of the site.
A master plan is a long-term planning document, and the delivery of any initiatives in the endorsed plan will depend on future funding.
The City of Whittlesea values your input and is committed to ensuring the community’s voice helps shape the future of spaces that matter to you.
