Plans to revitalise and reconnect Warrenheip

MEMBERS of the Committee 4 Warrenheip have released the Reconnect Warrenheip Master Plan.

The aim of the document is to map out the revitalisation and redesign of the Warrenheip Recreation Reserve to encourage activity and strengthen neighbourhood connections.

The plan includes the establishment of improved sporting and outdoor activity facilities, the rehabilitation of the wetlands, and some walking tracks.

It has received $10,000 worth of funding from the nearby Buninyong, and Ballan and District community banks.

“This project goes beyond the physical transformation of the reserve,” said Committee 4 Warrenheip chair Julian Prendergast.

“It’s an opportunity to strengthen community bonds, promote wellbeing, and create lasting memories.

“As a Warrenheip resident, I’m excited about the positive impact this project will have on our community.”

The Committee 4 Warrenheip has employed Wattle Flat’s Thomson Hay Landscape Architects to work on designs.

“Their expertise will ensure thoughtful land use, preservation of natural assets, and the creation of a valuable community asset aligned with the community’s vision and priorities,” a statement from the committee said.

Made up of local volunteers, the Committee 4 Warrenheip was established in recent years with the aim of boosting the area’s pride and the spirit of residents, to improve facilities, and the suburb’s overall health and wellbeing.

“The project will invite community members to get involved through volunteer opportunities, community workshops, and shared outdoor experiences,” the statement said.

“In the coming weeks, residents will be offered a platform to learn more about the project, ask questions, and share their ideas.”

Both banks have each contributed $5000 towards the master plan.
