Council welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with all levels of governments to deliver great outcomes for Whitehorse and beyond.

We have four priority projects that were endorsed by Council in July 2024.

Bennettswood Reserve

Located on the Burwood Highway in Burwood, Bennettswood Reserve contains two ovals. The site sits adjacent to the Victorian Government’s planned Suburban Rail Loop station and there is an opportunity to upgrade the space to meet the needs of the growing community with upgraded open space, sports and recreation facilities.

Davy Lane  

Davy Lane Reserve is a public open space and sports field located in Forest Hill, sitting on a larger parcel of land that was set aside by the Victorian Government for the shelved Healesville Freeway. There is an opportunity to improve the experience of people using the reserve for sport and informal recreation, by introducing change rooms, public toilets, lighting, formalised car parking, irrigation and drainage, a play space and other amenities.  

Nunawading Basketball

Nunawading Basketball Centre supports one of the largest basketball associations in Australia, but further growth is constrained by the existing fives courts having reached capacity. A redevelopment of the site to introduce additional courts and other amenities will allow for sustainable growth of basketball- Whitehorse’s fastest growing indoor sport, and provide opportunities for netball and badminton participation.    

Sparks Reserve  

Sparks Reserve – Upper in Box Hill supports a National Premier League soccer club with 500 players. Due to the volume of players the one-and-a-half pitches available for regular training and games are highly overused, causing them to deteriorate. An upgrade to a synthetic pitch will allow for the continued high use on a good quality surface.  

Partnership Opportunities

Each quarter we release our Partnership Opportunities booklet ( PDF 4.11MB) which outlines specific projects that will help deliver our vision for the city.  

We always welcome opportunities to partner with state and federal government, as well as surrounding councils and schools.
