We’ve got big plans for Gardiners Creek – view the concept designs and have your say.
We want to know your thoughts on concept designs we’ve developed as the first step to implementing the Gardiners Creek – Kooyongkoot master plan.
What we hear now will help us deliver improvements to reinvigorate and enhance this important waterway and community recreation zone.
About the master plan
In September 2020, Council adopted the Gardiners Creek – Kooyongkoot master plan that sets the vision for the revitalisation of the Gardiners Creek corridor through revegetation and biodiversity improvements, water sensitive urban design, shared path upgrades and enhancing opportunities for active and passive recreation.
The master plan area extends 8.7km from where Gardiners Creek meets the Yarra River in Kooyong through to Warrigal Road in Malvern East and, as well as the creek itself, takes in significant passive and active recreation spaces such as Sir Zelman Cowen Park and sportsgrounds, Tooronga Park, Gardiner Park, Glenburn Bend Park, TH King Oval, Glen Iris Wetlands, Glen Iris Park, East Malvern Tennis Club, Darling Park and the Malvern Valley Golf Course.
Due to the scale and diverse use of spaces within the master plan area site specific concepts designs were developed based on geographic zones:
| Zone 1 – Monash Freeway | Zone 5 – Burke Road to Elm Road |
| Zone 2 – Sir Zelman Cowen Park | Zone 6 – Glenburn Bend Park |
| Zone 3 – Tooronga Park | Zone 7 – TH King and Glen Iris wetlands |
| Zone 4 – Tooronga Road to Burke Road | Zone 8 – Darling Park (Dunlop Street to Winton Road) |

For Zones 2B, 3 and 8 we welcome general feedback plus invite you to complete a more detailed survey that will allow us to refine the designs for Talbot Crescent and Tooronga Park and collect ideas to inform the Basil Street master plan.
