Alpine Shire Council releases draft Sports and Active Recreation Master Plans for community input

Alpine Shire Council releases draft Sports and Active Recreation Master Plans for community input
May 14, 2024

Alpine Shire Council has released draft Schematic Drawings for its Sports and Active Recreation Master Plans, inviting community feedback.

The draft Schematic Drawings include proposals for Pioneer Park in Bright, the Sports and Education Precinct in Mount Beauty, and Myrtleford’s town centre sports and recreation facilities.

Developed as part of ongoing efforts to enhance sports and recreational facilities across the municipality, these drawings reflect input of both key user groups and community members.

Consideration has been given to current and future community use of the identified reserves and parks, ongoing maintenance requirements and costs, user feedback and experience, and key updates that will ensure facilities and infrastructure are safe, accessible, and inclusive. 

The Master Plans are supported by a strong evidence base and align closely with the Alpine Shire Sport and Active Recreation Plan 2022-2033.

Alpine Shire Mayor, John Forsyth, emphasised the importance of community engagement in shaping the future of these important community spaces.

Forsyth noted "In the development of these draft Schematic Drawings, we consulted with 63 sports and recreation user groups, had discussions with nine state sporting associations, services and schools, and received almost 400 survey responses from the wider community.

"Feedback now will ensure the final Master Plans successfully address the issues and needs of the community that we've already heard, and any feedback received during the public exhibition period will be taken into consideration."

Mayor Forsyth said the draft Schematic Drawings represent a shared vision for vibrant, inclusive, and accessible sports and recreational environments adding "we invite all active users and residents to provide their feedback as we work towards creating spaces that meet the diverse needs of our community.

"Whether you're a regular user of these facilities or an occasional visitor, it's important to have your say so we can hear from as many people as possible and get these plans right."

Community members can view the draft Schematic Drawings and submit their feedback online by visiting engage.alpineshire.vic.gov.au/sport-and-active-recreation-master-plans.

To view printed copies of the draft drawings and fill out a hard copy feedback form, visit Customer Service Centre in Bright, or libraries in Bright, Mount Beauty and Myrtleford.

The public feedback period is open until Friday, 31st May 2024.
