Improvements across Keysborough are continuing and will create more opportunities to enjoy enhanced sports and recreational spaces.
Council has planted many trees and small plants throughout Frederick Wachter Reserve as part of the masterplan to expand the wetlands and improve the park’s water quality and biodiversity. These landscape works will improve the quality of life and natural habitat for our native wildlife.
The first stage of Fredrick Wachter Reserve’s new boardwalk has also commenced, with pylons installed in early April. The boardwalk will run around the wetlands and residents and visitors will soon be able to enjoy a safe walking track without disturbing the flora and fauna.
The reserve’s new playground, which will include junior and senior play zones as well as water and sand play facilities, is anticipated to begin construction of stage one works in late May. The playground will also be covered by shade, allowing children to play safely no matter the weather.
Rowley Allan Reserve upgrades are also underway, beginning with the refurbishment of the netball courts. New courts, new lighting and player’s shelters are to be completed by the end of this month, subject to weather conditions. These works kick off Council’s vision to make the reserve a high standard multi-purpose sporting space for cricket, Australian Rules Football, lawn bowls and netball.
I look forward to seeing sports enthusiasts, young and old, coming together to enjoy the first stage of upgrades at the Rowley Allan Reserve and look forward to hearing community feedback.
