RESIDENTS from Smythesdale and surrounding areas can share their opinions on the future of Woady Yaloak Recreation Reserve.<\/p>\n

Golden Plains Shire is developing a master plan to improve the reserve and help it meet the evolving needs of the growing community.<\/p>\n

The plan will include a shared vision for the reserve created by input from key stakeholders and the community, and it will guide future development and identifying funding opportunities.<\/p>\n

Woady Yaloak Football Netball Club President Adam Liversage said he is thankful for funding for two new multi-lined netball and tennis courts.<\/p>\n

He said he would also like to see further upgrades to the road surface around the oval and new change rooms including gender neutral spaces.<\/p>\n

“The facility is in desperate need of the track or road around the facility being upgraded as we are getting potholes at the entrance of the facility,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We do need a safe space in front of the pavilion, we need that cornered off\u2026 so cars can’t access that particular area.<\/p>\n

“The pavilion itself is a bit outdated, and we’d love to see the football changerooms have a bit of an overhaul.”<\/p>\n

Golden Plains Shire mayor Cr Sarah Hayden said it was critical for the community to share their opinions.<\/p>\n

“Council is committed to creating a reserve that meets the needs of all users,” she said.<\/p>\n

“The master plan will consider a range of factors including broader community demand, population forecasts and council’s priorities for sport and recreation.<\/p>\n

“Your input is valuable and will greatly assist us in identifying the priorities for the reserve.”<\/p>\n

Feedback is open until Tuesday 20 March and can be completed on the Golden Plains Shire website<\/a> or at customer hubs in Bannockburn and Smythesdale.<\/p>\n

Following consultation, a draft plan will be developed which is expected to be presented for further feedback in mid-2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
