Summary

• The Drysdale/Clifton Springs Sports Precinct Master Plan was initiated to plan for the future development of a 45 hectare vacant parcel of Council owned land located south east of the Portarlington and Grubb Road intersection. The land is adjacent to a set of community and school facilities including the Potato Shed, Bellarine Secondary College, St Ignatius College and St Thomas Primary School.
• The Master Plan recommends that this land is used to provide for the future recreational needs to Drysdale/Clifton Springs and in time will become a Subregional Sports Precinct capable of providing facilities to communities on the Bellarine Peninsula.
• The plan ensures the long-term sport and recreational aspirations of the active sport groups, schools and local residents are taken into consideration.
• The Drysdale/Clifton Springs Sports Precinct Master Plan contains staged development recommendations that will significantly enhance this undeveloped reserve and will ensure the Recreation and Open Space needs of its continued role in the Drysdale/Clifton Springs community are met.

Recommendation

That Council endorse the Drysdale/Clifton Springs Sports Precinct Master Plan.

Update: At its meeting held on 24 May, the City of Great Geelong endorsed the Drysdale/Clifton Springs Sports Precinct Master Plan.
