Have Your Say: O’Neil Road Recreation Reserve Draft Masterplan

With the predicted growth of the community, the O'Neil Road Recreation Reserve Beaconsfield has been identified to be upgraded to a neighbourhood-level active reserve. The proposed upgrades to the reserve will provide greater support for low-level senior cricket and create a home base for a junior soccer club. They will also improve the passive recreation opportunities within the reserve.

The draft Master Plan recommends the following improvements:

• Two junior soccer pitches and supporting infrastructure (new lighting, coaches’ boxes, ball catching nets - overlaid over cricket oval)
• Upgraded cricket oval and cricket pitch
• A new sports pavilion with vehicle-free zone to support spectators/users
• Two new car park areas; one to support the main reserve entrance and pavilion, and the second to support the existing playground
• A large spectator shelter to provide shade to spectators on the western soccer pitch
• Connecting footpaths throughout the reserve
• Installation of an outdoor fitness station
• Installation of barbecue and picnic facilities
• Provision of shade over the existing playground
• Widening the current vehicle entry point to support future roundabout
• Landscaping.

Council is holding a community consultation ‘drop-in’ session from 3.30–6.30pm on 18 July 2018 at Beaconsfield Neighbourhood Centre, 8 O’Neil Rd, Beaconsfield.

Feedback can also be provided through an online survey until 9am, Monday 30 July 2018.
