Wyndham council is calling on residents to have their say on the future of a beloved local park.
Locals can contribute to the concept designs on Riverbend Historical Park in Werribee by submitting ideas through council’s feedback portal The Loop.
Among the things that are open for consideration are an upgraded picnic area with new shelters, barbeque and seating.
New public toilets, a drinking fountain and a pedestrian path linking the carpark to the Werribee River Trail as well as new steps connecting to Melbourne Water’s proposed floating pontoon are part of the concept plans.
New paths have been proposed to better connect people with key destinations within the park and to formalise grass and garden bed areas that have become worn from frequent use.
Several drop-in sessions to discuss the plans will be held at the car park entrance on Heaths Roads.
They will take place 10am-noon on Saturday 14 February and 3-6pm on Tuesday 17 February.
With the resident feedback, and engagement report will be published in April and the concept plan will be finalised in June.
At this current stage, works are expected to commence late this year or by the latest in mid-2027.
Council has also identified an opportunity to improve the surfacing of the existing car park, but these works may occur as a future stage, subject to funding.
Feedback must be provided by Monday 2 March to be considered.
