Percy Street Reserve, located at 65 Percy Street, Prospect, was scheduled for an upgrade as detailed in Council’s Open Space Strategy.

In preparation for the redevelopment, Council conducted an initial community consultation (Round 1) during October - November 2021, to obtain background information on how the park was being used by our community and what they would like to see included in the upgrade. Feedback received from this consultation was provided in the 22 March 2022 Council Report, located in the Document Library on the right of this page.

Following the initial Round 1 consultation, a draft concept plan was developed for the reserve upgrade and we sought community feedback on the draft plan during July - August 2022. The draft concept plan was prepared based on feedback from the previous Round 1 consultation and Council workshops. You can view the draft concept plan and perspectivein the “Document Library” to the right of this page.

Feedback gathered from the Round 2 consultation was used to finalise the draft concept plan presented to Council for endorsement to proceed to the next stage (documentation and construction).
