How do you want to use parkland area around Melton Weir?

A new strategy is set to be developed to guide the creation and improvement of parklands along the Melton Weir and Reservoir, and the City of Melton community is invited to have their say!

Melton City Council is considering ways to link hectares of open space, connect more people to the land surrounding the Melton Weir and Reservoir, and make the most of the natural setting. That could include planning for potential paths, access points, seating, or picnic areas.

Some of the key objectives of developing a future strategy include:

  • Identifying existing and future opportunities for enjoying the parklands
  • Determining any access to the weir
  • Investigating opportunities for recreational access
  • Linking hectares of open space and nearby residential areas
  • Connecting more people to the parklands and water
  • Making the most of the natural setting

City of Melton residents are invited to fill in the survey to help guide what could improve the area and help more people enjoy the natural setting surrounding the water.

The survey is open until 14 May 2023 at conversations.vic.gov.au/meltonweirparklands
