We are proposing an upgrade to Burgundy Reserve and we want to hear from you.

Our concept plan includes improved facilities for informal dog off lead activity as well as a new public toilet, an upgraded playspace, and shelter.

The informal dog off lead improvements include new fencing and paths, new lighting and landscaping, as well as new seating.

Have your say on this upgrade until 12 August and subscribe to the Your Say Manningham page for further information as the project progresses.

The Burgundy Reserve infrastructure upgrade is supported by the Victorian Government through the New and Upgraded Dog Parks Program.

The Concept Plan proposal includes:

  • Relocated and upgraded fenced playspace
  • New shelter upgrade
  • A new two cubicle public toilet
  • New shared path to connect Cellar Way to Burgundy Drive
  • New path lighting
  • New chainmesh fencing along Burgundy Drive (with a break where the shared path intersects)
  • New seats around the oval
  • A new drinking fountain with dog bowl
  • Path realignment and upgrade for more passive recreation opportunities
  • Additional landscaping and trees across the site

Where is it?

Burgundy Reserve is located at 4A Burgundy Drive, Doncaster.

Why is it needed?

We have received $400,000 in grant funding to provide improved facilities at Burgundy Reserve, Doncaster, to support informal dog off lead activity.

We are aligning these works with a playspace and shelter upgrade and a new public toilet which are already programmed as part of Council's capital works delivery over the next two financial years.

When is it happening?

Community consultation on the concept plan will be open for feedback until Monday, 12 August 2024.

Consultation on the playground upgrade will take place in early 2025.

The works are scheduled to be completed in mid-2026. This is subject to weather and contractor availability.

    Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the proposed upgrade at Burgundy Reserve.

    Your feedback and ideas will help inform the final designs for this reserve.

    Summary of key findings:

    • Most people who completed our survey live in the local area and use the reserve very often, primarily for exercise.
    • 61% of respondents support the proposal and the project will continue.
    • The main reason for support was an upgrade of the existing facilities and incidental benefits such as better year-round use and safety.
    • There were many great ideas to improve the concept plan and the playground, these will be considered against site conditions and budget availability to determine what can be included in the final design.
    • There were some requests to change the location of proposed infrastructure. This will be reviewed as we develop the plan, there are several site restrictions such as slope, easements and playing field requirements that may limit the potential for major changes.

    Next steps

    • We will finalise the concept plan and develop a playground design based on our respondents’ feedback.
    • We will provide a project progress update in early 2025 and to test the playground design.
