HIGHTON open spaces are in line for upgrades, with the City of Greater Geelong council seeking local input on its coming plans.<\/p>\n

The city is planning upgrades for three reserves in the suburb: Stanbury Avenue Reserve, Esperance Crescent Reserve and Morena Street Reserve.<\/p>\n

Stanbury Avenue has existing facilities including a basketball half-court that are in need of an upgrade, while Esperance Crescent and Morena Street are undeveloped.<\/p>\n

The city says community feedback will help form concept plans for the reserves, which would then open for further feedback before finalising upgrade plans.<\/p>\n

Kardinia Ward councillor Ron Nelson said he wanted to see the area’s public space used to its potential.<\/p>\n

“Highton is growing and we want to give people of all ages places to socialise and enjoy recreation outdoors,” Cr Nelson said.<\/p>\n

“We encourage the local community to take part in this process and help come up with some really positive plans for the three reserves.”<\/p>\n

Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said the community partnership aimed to ensure the development met the community’s needs and expectations.<\/p>\n

The city will host one-hour sessions at each reserve this Sunday, August 28 from 10am at Stanbury, 11.30am at Esperance Crescent and 1pm at Morena Street.<\/p>\n
