A new master plan for VR Michael Reserve in Lalor was endorsed at City of Whittlesea’s August Council meeting.
The new plan comes after extensive community consultation highlighted the need for upgraded wayfinding signage, and additional and inclusive recreational features such as gathering spaces, fitness stations, table tennis tables, and a bouldering wall.
Additional recommendations were made for lighting upgrades, an extension to the car park, and a designated drop-off area.
City of Whittlesea Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson said community insight had helped shape the plan which will guide future development at the Reserve.
“This plan will not only improve the functionality and accessibility of the Reserve, but also will help create a welcoming and enjoyable space for all,” she said.
“We are particularly excited about the recently upgraded car park, along with the proposed lighting, extension of the main car park, and a proposed drop-off area adjacent to the Bocce Social Club, which will make parking safer and more convenient for visitors.”
The recommendations within the master plan are subject to future funding.
