Melton City Council is revitalising McDonald Street Reserve to provide a variety of play experiences for a broad range of ages and abilities, a sheltered social and picnic space, new path network, additional tree planting for shade, and improved turfed kick-about space.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the consultation period from 31st July to 26th August 2022. Feedback was collected via and online survey, a hard copy flyer, email, phone and at a weekend session held at McDonald Street Reserve. Your feedback will be taken into consideration when developing the detailed design and documentation. Please refer to the document library for the summary of feedback and Council's response.

A Cultural Heritage Management Plan is currently underway for this project, as a significant number of artefacts have been identified onsite. The footprint of the playground has been significantly reduced to ensure the protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage value. A final plan will be shared on this page once it is approved by relevant Authorities.

This project is now scheduled for completion within the FY26/27 Infrastructure Plan, and the timeframe has been adjusted accordingly.
