Council Adopts Master Plan for Hart Reserve, Two Wells

Following a further period of consultation with the community, Council, at its meeting held on 23 May 2022, adopted the Hart Reserve Master Plan. In doing so, Elected Members also requested that staff provide further information regarding the cost of including a skate park within the Reserve.

Initial design work commenced on this project in 2019, however COVID-19 unfortunately halted progress due to restrictions on public gatherings. Council has nonetheless held two rounds of community consultation in order to review the Master Plan and having now received valuable feedback, we are confident that Hart Reserve will become an enjoyable space for our residents to enjoy into the future.

Council’s Chief Executive Officer, James Miller, said, “with a clear vision now in place, we are super excited to progress with developing a vibrant community space that will cater for future growth in the area. A Master Plan will also enable Council to apply for grants, or allocate funds, to improve Hart Reserve and ensure that the site continues to meet the needs of our growing community”, continued Miller.

Hart Reserve is just a short walk or bike ride down Petticoat Lane from the main street to a place that has different play features and colourful trees, and tells a story about Two Wells and its environment. It will be an inviting space for use by all ages and abilities and will be convenient for families attending the adjacent Two Wells Primary School.

A copy of the Master Plan can be viewed on Council’s website.
