The Shire is working with the community to transform Brown Park into a welcoming, well‑planned destination for everyone. Brown Park is more than just an oval — it’s a vibrant hub already used by over 30 local groups and organisations.
The Master Plan will guide the park’s future, balancing sport, recreation, nature, culture and community use so the space continues to meet the needs of residents today and into the future.
Our Vision
The vision for Brown Park is to create a vibrant, well-planned and welcoming community precinct that:
- Supports growing participation in sport and recreation
- Provides safe, accessible and inclusive facilities
- Protects and enhances the natural environment
- Strengthens community connection and pride
- Delivers sustainable, future-focused infrastructure
The Masterplan supports the Shire’s long-term goals by balancing thoughtful progress with protection of the unique character of the area.
Why This Project Matters
Brown Park is one of the Shire’s most significant recreation precincts. Participation in sport across the Shire continues to grow. Local clubs need facilities that support training, competition and community events.
Brown Park plays many roles for our community. Feedback has shown there is strong support for improved facilities for sport, youth, social connection and nature‑based experiences. The Master Plan will ensure future changes are well‑designed and reflect what the community values most.
This project will:
- Improve facilities for local sporting clubs
- Enhance public open space for families and visitors
- Support health and wellbeing
- Improve safety and accessibility
- Strengthen the precinct as a community gathering place
By planning ahead, the Shire can deliver upgrades that meet community expectations while protecting the natural setting of Brown Park.
What's Planned
The revitalised Brown Park will include:
- A dedicated skate park and pump track
A safe, purpose‑built space for young people to ride, gather and connect.
- Designated dog park area
A defined off‑lead zone for dogs and their owners to exercise and socialise.
- New sporting pavilion
Modern, accessible facilities to support sporting clubs and community events.
- Upgrades to the existing community facility
Essential improvements including roof, wall and gutter works to ensure long‑term functionality.
- Improved oval amenities & spectator seating
Enhanced player, family and supporter experience with better seating and viewing areas.
- BBQ and picnic spaces
Welcoming outdoor areas for families and community groups to gather.

Improvements to the natural waterway and interpretive signage celebrating local heritage and connection to Country.
- Native planting & landscape upgrades
Expanded tree canopy and biodiversity to strengthen environmental resilience, provide shade and create habitat.
Project Timeline
The Brown Park Precinct Masterplan will be delivered in stages.
Key stages include:
- Community consultation and concept development
- Masterplan endorsement
- Detailed design of individual components
- Funding allocation and advocacy
- Staged construction and upgrades
Delivery timeframes depend on funding availability and Council priorities.
Updates will be provided as each stage progresses.
Community Engagement
Community input is central to shaping the future of Brown Park.
The project team has already met with:
- the Aboriginal Governance Group
- sporting clubs and key user groups
- a range of community organisations
These early conversations have helped the team understand how the park is used now, what’s working well, and where improvements are needed.
Community Workshop
The next stage of engagement brings the broader community together in a workshop. Participants will help map how the park functions today, identify opportunities and priorities, and help shape future layout options. The feedback from this session will directly inform the draft Master Plan.
