Let's shape the future of our open spaces together

We're seeking your ideas, thoughts, and feedback on open spaces in Baw Baw Shire to help shape our new Open Space Strategy.

You are invited to help improve our parks, gardens and open spaces by sharing your experiences. Your feedback will be used to help create spaces that can be enjoyed by all community members for a variety of purposes.

The Open Space Strategy will guide how we sustainably manage, protect, and grow our open space network to support a healthy, thriving, and sustainable community.

As part of this project, we're asking you to help us assess our existing open space network to identify potential improvements, accessibility concerns, and the overall quality of our open spaces.

How you can get involved

You can let us know your thoughts by completing the survey below and using our interactive map to tell us where our open spaces need to be added to or improved and how. If in-person is more your style, check out our consultation calendar below for a drop-in session that suits you.

Your reward

Residents who fill out our survey will go in the draw to win one of our five Dining and Spa or two Accommodation packages in some stunning locations within Baw Baw Shire.
