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

Where is it?

Warrandyte Reserve is located at the Corner Heidelberg Warrandyte Road and Taroona Avenue.

The reserve is an important part of the Warrandyte community, providing a range of sporting and recreation opportunities and community services for residents of all ages. The reserve caters to both formal competition and informal activities. These include football, cricket, netball, basketball, tennis, walking, jogging, skating, exercising, playground use, picnicking, and connecting with nature.

Why is it needed?

Dog exercising is a popular activity at Warrandyte Reserve and this project will improve ground conditions and informal dog off lead facilities at the northern oval so it can be better used all year round.

When is it happening?

Community consultation on the concept design will be open for feedback from Monday 15 July to Monday 12 August 2024.

Construction will be undertaken in late 2025 in two stages:

  • Infrastructure works
  • Oval drainage upgrade works

This is subject to the scheduled sportsground use, as well as weather and contractor availability.

    Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the proposed upgrade at Warrandyte Reserve northern oval.

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

    Summary of key findings:

    • Most people who completed the survey use the reserve very often and regularly. While the survey respondents use the northern oval primarily for dog walking, it is also used intensively for sport, informal exercise and play, particularly with children.
    • 56% of respondents support the proposal and the project will continue.
    • An improvement to the grounds and drainage is broadly supported. The new shelter is equally important to respondents as well as other supplementary infrastructure to improve the amenity of the northern oval.
    • Concerns have been raised about the issue of visitors not picking up after their dogs, which can compromise the usability of the grounds, particularly for junior sports.
    • Some great ideas were shared on how the plan could be improved. They will all be considered and assessed against site restrictions and funding availability as we develop the final plan.

    Next steps

    • We will finalise the concept plan based on the feedback received.
    • We will provide an update on the project progress in early 2025.
