Crown Rec Reserve Master Plans for Darnum, Longwarry, Thorpdale and Willow Grove.
Consultation has concluded
We reviewed and updated the existing Crown Recreation Reserve Master Plans for sporting facilities and associated infrastructure at Darnum, Longwarry, Thorpdale and Willow Grove to make sure that they are current and ready to meet the changing needs and expectations of clubs, the broader community and Council.
