Yarra Ranges Council will be developing a draft concept design for a renewed playspace at Mt Evelyn Recreation Reserve, Mt Evelyn and we would like your feedback before we begin.

This reserve is situated at Tramway Road, Mt Evelyn View Map

The aim of this survey is to understand how you currently use the space and how you would like to see the space developed to create a valued place for the community.

The existing playspace will be renewed in line with the recommendations within the Playspace Plan 2019-2029.

As this is a local-level playspace, large infrastructure such as additional shelters will not be provided.

This space currently has toilets, picnic tables, barbeques facilities and shelters.

Once the feedback from the survey has been collected, Council will work with a team of consultants to develop a draft concept design which will then be advertised to the community during the second consultation phase for further feedback.

As part of this consultation stage, we will also be seeking feedback from local stakeholders including;

  • Melba Support Services,
  • Mt Evelyn Junior Football Club, Football Netball Club and Cricket Club
  • Mt Evelyn Sports and Community Hub (MESCH)
  • Mt Evelyn Township Group,
  • Mt Evelyn History Group
  • Mt Evelyn Community House
  • Mt Evelyn Environmental Protection & Progress Association (MEEPPA)

Council uses the word playspace, instead of playground because it covers more than the equipment. It reflects the wide range of users, age groups and experiences of the community in the space.

This survey is looking for your feedback on how to improve this playspace for the future. If you need to report damaged or missing playspace equipment or any other playspace issues/concerns about other playspaces in Yarra Ranges, please Report an issue with a playspace Yarra Ranges Council.

The existing playspace will be renewed in line with the recommendations within the Playspace Plan 2019-2029. As this is a local-level playspace, large infrastructure such as water play, public toilets, shelters and BBQ's along with formal skate and bike activity spaces cannot be accommodated in the scope of these works.
