Disc Golf plan for Bicentennial Park

Contributions from a recent consultation are being considered by Council.

With so much happening across Highett and Cheltenham, it feels like a busy time and I know it will get busier. There are a few major State government projects in this area. It is vital our community is kept informed and that the various state bodies talk to each other to ensure the best possible outcomes for residents and minimise disruption. That’s why I have been working so hard to make sure local voices are heard and we have an opportunity to provide valuable insight into the Highett and Wickham Roads level crossing removals. Maximising sustainable transport outcomes through the precinct is important - integrated planning of the shared user path to open up this transport corridor. It is important the LXRP engages and involves the community in early planning on these impactful projects. In exciting news, the Follett Road shopping strip in Cheltenham has undergone a wonderful rejuvenation. New seating, planting, bike racks and improved parking are among the upgrades.

Artist Carla Gottgens worked with young students and traders on themes for four painted electrical poles and pavement art. The cultural diversity of the students, their families and the traders is woven into the beautiful work. Colour and similarities between one garden and another evoke a connection despite the differing cultures.

Disc Golf is a fun recreational activity for people of all ages and this project is part of our commitment to providing active recreation spaces and activities in our reserves.
