provide commercial and public facilities, which support use and
activity within the park. Council will carefully control the
development and management of these buildings (with any
income helping to off-set park maintenance costs). All sporting
club training, storage and social facilities should be developed
on the western end of this site on a shared use basis. Buildings
developed on this flood free site must be of high quality and
architect designed. They should be light and transparent and
take full advantage of the northern aspect and views down the
lake.
Aquamoves North Boundary
The master plan proposes the relocation of existing pool plant
equipment from the northern boundary, to reduce visual impact
and allow for a western extension to the existing landscaped car
park. New seating terraces and shade structures are proposed
to provide an attractive new boundary treatment to the pool area.

Proposed construction of a parking lane separated from existing
through lanes by a tree lined grass median to the western side of
street. The master plan provides for new bike lanes on both
sides of street, and retention of two traffic lanes in each
direction. Safe angle and parallel parking is to be provided along
the park edge. This layout is subject to Vicroads approval.

The south eastern corner of the site is proposed to be
reconfigured to open views to the lake to visitors and residents
travelling north along Wyndham Street. Modification of the
existing Service Station, access roads and car parking is
suggested to provide a framed view through to the Lake. This is
emphasised by new paths & tree planting either side of open
grassed space. The existing lakeside café can be retained and
improved.
The proposed new information centre could be built outside the
current lease boundary, and could include new public toilet
facilities. Access would extend as a generous boardwalk across
the wetland to a fishing jetty that projects into the lake proper.

Service Station Lease
The lease for the Service Station and Cafe site can extend to the
year 2018. The suitability of these uses and the information
centre should be reviewed towards the end of this lease period.
Native Garden
A native garden is proposed within red gum woodland at the
south western end of the lake. This garden could feature
regionally indigenous vegetation. Removal of all sporting club
sheds and vehicle access from this section of the park is
recommended.
Wyndham / Hayes Street Signalisation
The possible future signalisation of the Wyndham / Hayes Street
intersection is recommended subject to further design
investigation and VicRoads approval.
Wyndham Street Pedestrian Crossing
A pedestrian crossing to the north of the service station is
proposed. Subject to further design investigation and VicRoads
approval.
