The Macedon Ranges community is invited to provide feedback on the Riddells Creek Recreation Reserve.
Macedon Ranges council is seeking feedback on the project to help formulate the draft plans for the site/
Council said an outline development plan for the reserve was prepared in 2009, however it no longer responds to the significant changes to sporting facilities and standards, an increase in female participation in sports, and the increasing demand and expectations for informal and recreational opportunities in recent years.
Funding contributions towards reserve upgrades have also been committed through the state government’s approval of the Amess Road Precinct Structure Plan in August 2025.
Council is seeking feedback to help establish a clear vision and direction for the reserve’s future, and hopes to respond to the growing and changing needs of the community.
The masterplan will also help to provide fit-for-purpose sporting infrastructure, establish infrastructure to support active, passive and informal recreational pursuits, and improve landscape amenity, safety, accessibility and connectivity.
There will also be an action plan which will outline the costs, timeframes and implementation responsibilities of the masterplan.
Council said once adopted, the masterplan will form the blueprint for the site, and become an advocacy piece for external funding opportunities.
Community members can provide initial feedback on how they currently use the reserve and what they would like to see there, with more feedback opportunities to be offered this year on the draft plans before the masterplan will be adopted in 2027.
Feedback is open now until Monday 23 February.
