We’re developing a masterplan for the nine reserves along the Port Melbourne Light Rail
Corridor. In 2025 we
asked our community how they use these spaces and what could be improved. The
feedback we heard has helped us develop a draft masterplan. The draft includes
ideas to improve access through the reserves, add more greenery and create more
places for people to relax and spend time together.
Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas from May to June 2026. We're now analysing your feedback. Our report on what we heard will be available to read on this page in the coming weeks.
On this page you can:
How will my feedback change this project?
We’re eager to hear your feedback to help us shape the final master plan. We will combine your input with other important considerations such as costing and expert advice, to ensure we create the best possible outcome for everyone.
Your feedback will help shape the final masterplan. At this stage, you can influence:
The overall direction of the plan
We want to know if our community supports the plan and whether it reflects what’s important to you.
Which ideas are included
The draft masterplan includes a range of ideas to improve the reserves. These ideas are not final. Your feedback will help us decide whether they are included in the final masterplan and how they may be changed or improved.
How future spaces could work
The ideas in the draft masterplan are early concepts. Your feedback will help shape how different spaces might be used, what features they could include and what we do to make them feel safe, comfortable and welcoming.
This project only covers areas of the light rail corridor that are shown in the masterplan.
Some things aren’t available to be changed, including:
- the light rail line and tram operations
- the location of proposed street crossings
- decisions about bike and scooter speed, which are not in Council’s direct control
- the fenced dog-off leash area planned for Fennell Reserve.
We are also developing the space under the Graham Street overpass. This is a separate project that’s not included the masterplan. To find out about our plans for that space and give feedback, visit the Graham Street Recreation Space project page.
