The Albert Roy Recreation Reserve Draft Infrastructure and Service Plan survey closed on 24 May 2026. Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback. We heard from many users and community members. Your input will help shape the final Plan.

Many people also highlighted the potential:

• For the reserve to become a high-quality sporting and recreation destination
• Opportunities to improve the natural environment

While there is strong support for the reserve, some key issues and challenges were raised:

• Safety concerns due to poor lighting around facilities and insufficient sports lighting
• Not enough parking spaces. Especially when there are multiple events on at the same time
• Concerns with the unsealed car park at the corner of Victoria Street and Upper California Gully Road
• Lack of accessible public toilets in safe, visible areas
• Some areas feel uninviting or not well maintained
• Not enough shade, seating and shelter
• Natural areas are not well cared for
• Some sports facilities are outdated or need improvement
• Limited accessibility and connectivity of paths across the reserve
• Limitations in hosting larger events and competitions due to a need for further investment in sports facilities
• People want the reserve to be inclusive for all genders, ages, abilities and backgrounds

These issues were raised often and are important to improving the reserve.

Your feedback will help us improve:

• Priorities and guide long-term future planning for the reserve
• Facilities for sport and community use

We will now:

• Review all feedback and update the Plan
• Present a final Plan to Council
• Share the Plan with you after Council adoption
• Advocate for funding to implement the Plan in stages over the long term
