Jacaranda Reserve, Oaklands Park

Background

Jacaranda Grove Reserve is a local level reserve that had minor improvement works completed during the 24/25 financial year. This project was included in the City of Marion Open Space Plan.

The minor improvement works included the refurbishment of the existing irrigation system with all new componentry.

Community Consultation Findings

During 12 August – 5 September 2024, we asked the surrounding residents for feedback on what other minor facilities they would like to see within Council’s endorsed budget. The options included:

(a) a 1.5m wide concrete path connecting Jacaranda Grove with Mark Place or

(b) additional tree planting within the reserve or

(c) a picnic table or

(d) a seat

We received 9 responses to the survey. A total of 78% (7 respondents) requested a 1.5m wide shared use path connecting Jacaranda Grove with Mark Place. 11% (1 respondent) suggested a picnic table and 11% (1 respondent) preferred a seat.

Based on the information above, Council progressed with the plans for a shared use path. This project was completed June 2025.
