Botanic Park Masterplan

The Mansfield Shire Council is undertaking a review of the Mansfield Botanical Park Masterplan to ensure it reflects the community's vision for a vibrant, accessible, and sustainable public open space. We want to hear from you! Your input is essential to help us create a masterplan that accommodates the diverse needs and preferences of our community, now and for future generations.
About the Mansfield Botanical Park:
The Mansfield Botanical Park is a cherished public open space that includes diverse natural open areas, meandering footpaths, a playground, oval and dog friendly areas. The current masterplan aims to retain the openness of the park while improving accessibility and balancing natural and developed areas. We're seeking your feedback to ensure that the revised masterplan meets the community's expectations and provides a welcoming space for residents and visitors alike.

Get Involved:
We encourage you to participate in our engagement process by completing the online survey and joining site walks with council officers. The survey questions cover a range of topics, including your thoughts on the current masterplan, your vision for the park, and any suggestions for improvements or additional features. Your feedback will help us identify key themes and areas of concern that will shape the revised masterplan.
Timeline:
The engagement process will take place over several months, including two rounds of engagement and opportunities for additional input if needed. The first round of engagement will begin in May 2023, followed by a second round in July 2023. The final masterplan is expected to be completed and presented to Council for adoption in August 2023.
