Golden Plains Shire Council is encouraging residents of Inverleigh and surrounding communities to have their say on the future of the Inverleigh Sporting Complex located at the Inverleigh Recreation Reserve (the Reserve).
Council is developing an Inverleigh Sporting Complex Master Plan which will help improve and develop the Reserve to meet evolving needs of users and the growing community in Inverleigh and surrounding towns.
The Master Plan will establish a shared vision for the Sporting Complex, driven by the input of key stakeholders and the broader community. It will provide a clear roadmap for future development, guide decision making and resource allocation for the community, user groups and Council.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Owen Sharkey urged user groups and the broader community to help guide the development of the Master Plan.
As Inverleigh and surrounding towns continue to expand, it’s vital that our community facilities evolve with them. The Master Plan will give Council a clear roadmap for future development of the Sporting Complex, guiding investment and decision-making for many years to come, Cr Sharkey said.
Thoughtful planning now means we can deliver facilities that truly support the way our community lives, plays and connects. The Master Plan will help us prioritise upgrades and investment so the Inverleigh Sporting Complex can continue to grow alongside the township, ensuring it remains a high-quality, accessible space for everyone, he said.
Feedback on the development of the Master Plan is invited from Wednesday 1 April until 5pm, Wednesday 29 April 2026, and can be completed online at goldenplains.vic.gov.au/consultations. The survey will also be available at Council’s Customer Hubs, 2 Pope Street, Bannockburn, and 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale.
Following the consultation period, Council will begin the development of the draft Master Plan and will keep the community involved in this process with further community consultation scheduled for later in 2026.
