Bayside City Council has drafted a masterplan for Sandringham's 20 Wangara Road precinct, based on community aspirations and site constraints. Now, they're after community consultation.
20 Wangara Road was a former quarry and landfill and the council admit that this limits what the land can be used for. Nevertheless, their vision is to transform it into six-hectares of passive open parklands for the community to enjoy. Many popular and viable community ideas in the draft masterplan have been noted.
Potential upgrades for the new park
- a natural path network for walking, running, all ability biking and exercise
- open grassed areas for community gathering, kick-about, reflection
- informal active play zones
- safe, fenced, secure off-leash dog area
- extensive planting of native vegetation
- native wildlife habitat and refuge
- BBQ areas, benches and picnic tables
- interactive community garden beds
- opportunities for public art
- provision for additional carparking

The constraints-based draft masterplan is designed with consideration of the significant development limitations at the former quarry and landfill, and the extensive rehabilitation and ongoing monitoring required by the EPA.
The draft masterplan is designed to regenerate the six-hectares of land after we undertake actions in the rehabilitation plan. The masterplan will transform the former waste site into a tranquil destination and deliver a passive open space where native vegetation, wildlife and visitors can thrive.
