Carawatha Reserve Expansion

We’re expanding Carawatha Reserve to create more open space for local residents and visitors to Doncaster Hill.

The proposed upgrade will include:

• an extended path network with improved access for bikes and scooters
• additional lawn areas
• new trees
• a new play space
• two new outdoor fitness stations
• improved picnic facilities with more seating and picnic tables, and a larger shelter and BBQ area.

Help us design a space that you'll enjoy

Provide feedback on our proposed concept design by 31 March 2024.

• What do you like about the concept plan?
• What would you like to be added or changed?
• What improvements would encourage you or your family to use this space more?

About this expansion

Carawatha Reserve is located on Carawatha Road in Doncaster. It features a range of play opportunities for young children and BBQ/ picnic facilities for local residents.

This project is part of our long-term planning for Doncaster Hill and was first introduced in the 2002 Doncaster Hill Strategy. It is also identified in our Open Space Strategy. We've acquired and will demolish two adjoining properties to create space for the expansion.

We plan to begin construction in late 2024 and aim to open the new park in mid-2025.
