Macedon Ranges council has released the draft Dixon Field Masterplan for community consultation.

The draft plan, developed by the council with the help of user groups and sporting clubs, outlines current and future uses, priorities and aspirations for the sporting complex site in Gisborne.

The site is used by locals clubs and groups and provides a major area of public open space for the community.

Key proposed upgrades include improvements to the soccer, tennis, cricket, athletics and croquet sporting facilities, new walking paths, upgraded car parking and revegetation works along Jacksons Creek.

Mayor Janet Pearce said the proposed masterplan improvements aimed to better position Dixon Field to attract higher profile funding and events in the future.

“This staged project is about providing the community with more opportunities for recreation and leisure activities in open spaces, which is a key priority in our council plan,” she said.

“But before that, it is very important that the community has a chance to provide feedback on the draft masterplan.

“We encourage you all to get online and have your say.”

The draft plan will be available for feedback and comment until Tuesday, June 30 at mrsc.vic.gov.au/yoursay

Feedback will be considered before a final version is presented to the council for consideration.
