Greater Shepparton City Council endorsed the Draft Deakin Reserve Future Directions Plan and Landscape Masterplan in last night’s Ordinary Council Meeting. The Plan is released for public comment for a period of four weeks commencing today and concluding on 15 August.
The Deakin Reserve Future Directions Plan and Landscape Masterplan aim to provide strategic direction for the future management and development of Shepparton’s premier facility.
Deakin Reserve is Greater Shepparton’s premier sportsground facility and is home to the Shepparton Bears Football Netball Club, Shepparton United Football Netball Club and Central Park/St Brendan’s Cricket Club. The five star facility also hosts regional, state and national events and sporting activities.
The Plan considers the needs and expectations of the local community, Council’s priorities for improving the liveability of the Greater Shepparton community and condition and functionality of the Reserve. A detailed background report has been prepared along with a Landscape Masterplan summarising the key recommendations.
The draft Future Directions Plan and Landscape Masterplan have been developed in consultation with the Deakin Reserve Advisory Committee, user groups of the reserve, peak sporting associations and occupiers of properties located within approximately three blocks of the reserve.
A Master Plan was developed in 1999 for Deakin Reserve and this has provided important guidance about the use, development and management of the Reserve over the past two decades.
