Prospect Lifestyle Precinct

Project overview


Phase 3 consultation is now open

Following Council's endorsement of the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan in June 2025, we’ve launched the next phase in the project.

Phase 3 community consultation is now open from Tuesday 7 October until 11:59pm on Tuesday 4 November 2025.

This is your opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed community land revocation and the new site-specific Community Land Management Plan. Your input is vital to securing the precinct's future.


Unlocking Prospect's future: Phase 3 consultation on the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct

After a year of planning, exploring options, and listening to community feedback, Council officially endorsed the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan in June 2025. This was a key step in our journey to transform Prospect Oval and its surrounding community and commercial land into a quality health, wellness, fitness and sporting precinct that attracts a higher level of community usage, sporting participation and economic development.

We’re now entering a new phase of consultation and inviting the community to share their thoughts on two distinct, but related, statutory processes that will help shape the future of the area.

What we’re consulting on

We’re seeking your feedback on two specific proposals:

1. Proposed revocation of community land

2. New precinct-specific Community Land Management Plan

  • The proposal: We’re proposing to adopt a new, site-specific Community Land Management Plan for the precinct. Click here to read the draft Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Community Land Management Plan.
  • The purpose: This new plan will replace the references to Prospect Oval within Council’s existing city-wide plan, and will detail exactly how the remaining community land will be used, managed, and improved to align with the masterplan.

For more information on each proposal, please see the fact sheets in the Document Library on the right-hand side of this page.

Consultation closes at 11:59pm, Tuesday 4 November 2025.

Our shared vision

Revitalising the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct to become a thriving community destination, which contributes to the day-to-day vibrancy of City of Prospect's lifestyle.

City of Prospect is committed to creating a vibrant, sustainable, and well-planned community for generations to come. The Prospect Lifestyle Precinct is the centrepiece of this commitment, representing a transformative vision for the land surrounding Prospect Oval and Memorial Gardens.

The infrastructure within the precinct, including the Prospect Oval facilities, is nearing the end of its useful life. Much of the existing infrastructure is aged, unsafe, and requires urgent and significant investment.

The estimated cost for necessary repairs and upgrades is a cost Council cannot fund alone without placing a major financial burden on our ratepayers. The alternative (allowing the precinct to fall into further disrepair) is not an option for our community.

The Prospect Lifestyle Precinct Masterplan offers a viable solution to this challenge. It is designed to:

  • Secure funding: By strategically redeveloping currently underutilised land on the eastern side of the precinct, the project generates the necessary income to fund the revitalisation of the entire area

  • Deliver modern facilities: The plan ensures the continuity of our beloved sporting and community groups by providing them with new, safe, and high-quality facilities

  • Increase public space: The project will increase the amount of usable, high-quality public open space by removing crumbling infrastructure and opening up previously inaccessible areas

  • Create a community hub: The project will transform the site into a sustainable, attractive destination that serves as a vibrant cultural and recreational hub for all residents and visitors to enjoy.

This project is about future-proofing a much-loved community asset and ensuring the Prospect Lifestyle Precinct thrives for decades to come.
