About the Masterplan
The Masterplan was endorsed by Council in March 2019 following an extensive community consultation process. It will be delivered over a number of years as funding permits.
Stage one – waterways
Working closely with Melbourne Water, Stage one aims to improve Lewis Park by making the waterway more accessible and enhancing:
- returning Blind Creek to a natural creek between Scoresby Road and the retarding basin
- creating wetlands for water quality treatment and habitat, and
- improving access and connectivity through landscaping, pedestrian bridges and boardwalks.
Construction is underway by Melbourne Water, and is due for completion by 2025.

Stage two – sports and play hub
The Sports and Play Hub looks to build on the active recreation, play and social spaces around the existing ovals.
Initiatives include:
- improved sports pavilion
- pump track
- improved skate and BMX area
- new nature playground
- multi-purpose courts
- flexible carparking for potential future community events, and
- picnic spaces
Community consultation was completed in July 2022.
Funding for the implementation of Stage 2 of the Lewis Park upgrades including the sport pavilion and skate park has been deferred for at least 5 years due to budget pressures.
As a result, the final design work has been paused and will be addressed again in the future.
