We listened - thank you to everyone who contributed feedback on the draft concept plans. Your input has been invaluable.

Community feedback regarding the proposed removal of the existing skate facility to make way for a new pocket park was mixed. While some supported the idea of a welcoming, passive open space, others expressed concern about losing a valued recreational facility.

In response, we are now exploring options to better meet community needs. Once a draft design is developed, we will re-engage with the community to seek further input and ensure the final outcome reflects local priorities.


We are partnering with Fraser Design Collaborative to prepare the Public Realm Masterplan for Swifts Creek.

The Public Realm for Swifts Creek refers to features and places such as the Recreation Reserve, the Skate Park, the Tambo River Playground, Poets Walk, the Swifts Creek Hall and Great Alpine Gallery frontages, and the Great Alpine Road streetscape, including trees and street furniture.

The draft concept plans can be viewed here:

Community consultation

Feedback during initial community engagement helped us identify a range of achievable projects that aim to improve the visual appeal of the township.

We asked the Swifts Creek community what is most valuable, what should be retained, what could be improved and what could be changed.

Funding

This project is funded by the Victorian Government through Emergency Recovery Victoria.
