Have your say on the proposed design

Our consultation on the draft concept design closed on Monday, 22 April 2024.

We're currently reviewing the feedback we received. We'll report back on the consultation outcomes and final design in May.


The proposed playspace includes:

  • a new play unit with slides, monkey bars, and a covered platform (suitable for ages 2 to 12)
  • a new double swing
  • a new picnic table
  • a new drinking fountain
  • a new seat
  • new trees for natural shade


Where is it?

Eric Reserve is located on Eric Avenue in Templestowe Lower. It’s a small reserve with a table seat and mature planting and landscaping.


Why is it needed?

Our Open Space Strategy 2014 identified the shortage of local playspaces in Templestowe Lower. This new playground will offer play and recreational activities for the local community.


When is it happening?

  • Community consultation on a draft concept design will be open for feedback until 22 April 2024.
  • The final design will be available by the end of May 2024.
  • Construction is planned to begin in September 2024 and take around four weeks. This schedule is subject to weather and contractor availability.


How will the work affect me?

The reserve will be closed during construction. The nearest alternative park is Sheehans Reserve, 650 metres away at 27 Sheahans Rd, Bulleen VIC 3105.

We will make every effort to minimise any disruption to residents and visitors.
