Rogers Reserve on the radar

A new report to be prepared by Council’s CEO will look into possible improvements to Rogers Reserve, including a basketball court and cricket pitch.

Cr Rod Ward moved a motion at Council’s 2 February Ordinary Meeting, suggesting that improvements to the reserve on Cairns Drive, Darley, would greatly benefit the community.

“I’ve been super impressed by the work done by Moorabool Shire Council to improve the playground reserves, play spaces, and facilities provided for our residents across the Council in the last few years, I think we’ve done an outstanding job,” Cr Ward said.

“Living in that area of Darley, I see the popularity of Rogers Reserve most weekends. It’s full of picknickers. There is no barbeque space, there’s aging playground equipment, there’s no shelter…I’m moving this motion to add the upgrade of Rogers Reserve to a similar standard to those other playgrounds we’ve updated recently.”

Cr Ward’s motion requests the report consider the feasibility of a half-wicket cricket pitch, half-court basketball court, play equipment upgrade, barbeque area and shelter, and public toilets.

The motion was seconded by Cr Berry without opposition, and was unanimously passed by Council, except for Cr Dudzik who was absent for much of the meeting due to technical difficulties.
