We want to hear from you!

The West Bairnsdale Oval is an important place for our community, and your local knowledge and ideas will help shape its future. 
Whether you use the oval regularly, have memories to share, or ideas for how it could better support sport, recreation and community life, we invite you to get involved.

Through this ideas tool you can:

• Share your experiences of the oval
• Post ideas and suggestions for the redevelopment
• Upload photos that show how the space is used now or how you’d like it to look in the future

When adding your idea, you may like to reflect on one or more of these questions:

• How should the oval, playground and surrounding spaces be arranged to work well together? 
• Are there changes or refinements that could improve how the site looks, feels or functions?
• How easy is it to get to, move through and use the site now?
• What improvements could be made for pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, accessibility and parking?
• What would make the site more comfortable, safe and enjoyable to use at different times of day and for different users? 
• Are there specific facilities, lighting or amenities you’d like to see included or improved?
• What type or style of playground would you like to see here?

You don’t need to answer every question, share what matters most to you. 

Add your idea, comment on others, and help us create a space that reflects our community’s needs and aspirations.

All feedback submitted will be considered and used to inform the development of the concept design for the West Bairnsdale Oval redevelopment.

We’re committed to making the most of this opportunity and creating a space that accommodates local sporting clubs and volunteers, encourages community connection and provides more opportunities for people across East Gippsland to be active and involved.
