The update includes a list of projects that have been delivered, underway and yet to be completed.
This information will be on display throughout January. Federation Council and Lonsdale Recreation Reserve Committee are encouraging residents to call into the Mulwala Library and/or Lonsdale Reserve Football Clubrooms to view the plan.
Some of the projects already underway include:
Redesign and refurbishment of ‘Bay 13’ to include publicly accessible toilet and storage for both tennis and cricket clubs.
Planting of new trees
Stormwater, car parking, roads and traffic flow design.
Lonsdale Recreation Reserve Committee was successful in securing $80,000 in NSW grant funding for a new playground. This is one of the planned projects that will be delivered.
The design process is underway but it is not too late to have your say on what you would like to see included in the playground and its location within the reserve.
Suggestions for the refresh/update opportunities not on the current masterplan include:
Storage behind grandstand
Formalised wayfinding and paths
Exercise stations along paths
Environmental green garden with sensory plants and play items
Grand entrance and footpath entrance upgrade.
LRRC secretary Bethany Robinson told the Yarrawonga Chronicle she welcomes the long awaited action.
“It is great to see some progress at the reserve,” she said. “The stormwater and road designs are currently being finalised which will be a massive improvement to the current conditions.
“The reserve is in a prime location near the shopping strip so it will be fantastic to see it revitalised to attract more of the general public. I am particularly excited about the new playground and would love to eventually see work-out stations so parents have an engaging area to take kids while they can work out.”
The updated Master Plan is also available for download from council’s website www.federationcouncil.nsw.gov.au in the News and Media section.
