The master plan was adopted by Council on 5 May. See document library for the final master plan.

Help shape the long-term strategy for the future use, management and development of Chirnside Park.

Chirnside Park is a valued open space area for a diverse range of community needs spanning sport, recreation and community activities, and the adjacent Werribee River is a place for the community to connect with nature and the environment.

Council has prepared the Chirnside Park Master Plan to guide the potential future improvement and development of the reserve over the next ten years (2020 – 2030).

We want to hear from you on the redevelopment of the sport, recreation, open space and community infrastructure facilities at the park to enhance its appeal, community use and functionality.
