Bonnie Doon Streetscape
Council is seeking to improve the amenity and township character public locations in Bonnie Doon. Several options for streetscape upgrades were developed and presented for community feedback in February and March 2023.
These options are based on ideas and priorities developed by community members involved in the Bonnie Doon Recreation Reserve's Community Reference Group, and based on community feedback received as part of our Bonnie Doon Plan engagement.
Feedback received via the survey on this page will help us deliver upgrades in line with the community's needs and preferences and prioritise the most important upgrades. We will seek to include lower priority upgrades in future budgets.
The survey is now closed, and the results and outcomes are available at the bottom of this page.
Bon Crescent area
Mural walls
This option involves painting the walls of the current toilet block with mural artwork, such as a high country or lake scene.
Lighting and sculptures
New sculpture and decorative lighting installations at each end of Bon Crescent. At the south end these would be located at the existing garden bed. At the north end they would be located on a section of lawn.
Lawn irrigation system
The Bon Crescent lawn currently has no irrigation system. This option is for an underground system to be installed similar to Mansfield's High Street median lawns, helping to keep the grass green and vibrant.
Signage at well
Signage would acknowledge the significance of the well and its history, as well as providing visitors with a background to the township. It would also be used to discourage rubbish dumping in the well.

Kids Bike track
This option is for a short, flat track that small children can use when learning to ride a bicycle.
Shade sail
A UV protective sail to provide shade to the existing playground.
Fitness station
The station would likely include one to three items of fixed equipment, such as an exercise bike, pull-up or sit-up station or combo press and pull.
Barbecue and picnic shelter
Separate to the streetscape upgrades, Council is already planning upgrades to the existing barbecue and picnic shelter in this area. Although they're not listed as an option in this engagement and survey, the upgrades are planned to take place together with the installation of other new features listed here.
