19 August 2021

The masterplan for PB Ronald Reserve in Pakenham was formally endorsed by Council on 16 August 2021.

Council would like to thank everyone who provided feedback and input to help shape the final masterplan for PB Ronald Reserve.

The plan represents a shared vision for the reserve and sets the direction for the future of its active and open space areas. The plan has now been adopted by Council and will be delivered over the next 10 years.

The first stage of delivering the masterplan will be the detailed design of the skate park and parkour circuit which is expected to commence this financial year 2021/22.

Other key features of the masterplan include:

  • An upgrade and expansion of the existing skate park
  • A new parkour circuit and exercise station
  • A new stage with power for festivals and events
  • Improved lighting, landscape and drainage to support use of the reserve for large events
  • New multi-use courts for basketball, netball, tennis, soccer
  • An additional bowling green and surrounding seating
  • New picnic/BBQ area near the Living and Learning Centre
  • Relocation of Remembrance Cenotaph and plaques, creating a safer and accessible location for gatherings
  • Upgrades to toilets, furniture, and shelters
  • Improved carparking and planting throughout the reserve

The PB Ronald Reserve has been identified as a potential site for a proposed multi-cultural hub. The future implementation of the PB Ronald Masterplan may be impacted on by this proposed development.
