Council adopts Congupna Recreation Reserve Master Plan

Council formed a draft Master Plan and released it for public comment between April and June this year, with the draft plan receiving five submissions.

In addition to the public exhibition, Council has undertaken consultation with key stakeholders such as user groups and sporting bodies during the development of both the draft plan and the final adopted Master Plan.

The adopted plan includes a Landscape Master Plan, summarising the key priorities for the recreation reserve which include:

Heating and cooling – Community Hall
Toilet upgrades and compliance – Community Hall
Football change rooms – Minor upgrades and repairs
Electronic scoreboard
New community change room and clubroom facility
Oval and netball court lighting

“Congupna Recreation Reserve is one of the many sporting hubs in Greater Shepparton,” Mayor Cr Seema Abdullah said.

“It is host to football, netball, cricket and tennis, and plays a vital role in providing open space, sport and other recreational activities. It’s also conveniently located next to the primary school.

“We thank those who took the time to enter a submission during the public exhibition period, and look forward to getting to work on the actions outlined in the Master Plan.”
