The local Buchan community welcomed Council’s intention to upgrade and revitalise the recreation reserve with better sporting and community facilities to enrich the lifestyle, character, and resilience of the Buchan, Gelantipy and district communities.

We are moving closer towards construction.

Works are anticipated to commence later this year following the award of the contract for construction of the Netball / Tennis Courts at the 25 June 2024 Council meeting.

We commend the local Buchan community and Project Reference Group in their efforts to progress the project to this key milestone.

Council’s ongoing collaboration with the Buchan community and Project Reference Group has progressed the concept to detailed design for pavilion and pony club shed. Other key elements of the masterplan include upgraded pony club yards, cricket nets, oval, play space.

This project is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, in conjunction with Council.

Construction details and timing will be shared on YourSay once they have been established.
