Victoria Park/ Bakkabakkandi
The proposed Victoria Park Master Plan aims to transform the Park into a "People's Park" rivalling some of the great city parks of the world.
The restoration of the Heritage Grandstand, improved playing fields, the creation of a wetland and new walking and cycling trails all feature prominently in the Master Plan.
Precinct 1 - Woodland Recreation
● Improved shared-use path and trail network
● Expanded exercise track
● Establish picnic settings
● Restoration of the existing creek line and revegetation with locally indigenous plantings
● Improvement to the biodiversity and habitat of the Park by establishing an urban forest
● Creation of a network of interpretive walking trails around the southern end of the Park and the urban forest area
● Creation of a wetland and aquifer recharge facility which will provide opportunities for education, exploration, adventure and interpretation
Precinct 2 - Community Recreation and Sport
● Consolidation and upgrade of existing sports fields into a large open expanse to be used as flexible/multi-use grassed playing areas for a variety of uses, organised activities and community based events
● Development of an informal space for community recreation

● A prominent community plaza that will incorporate gardens and public art
● Retention of the heritage listed Grandstand
