Community invited to share ideas for Alan Marshall Reserve

Published on 10 November 2025

Nillumbik Shire Council is inviting the community to have their say on how they use Alan Marshall Reserve and share ideas for its future.

Alan Marshall Reserve is a much-loved community space in Eltham, featuring playgrounds, open grass areas, a basketball court, soccer goals, and bushland enjoyed by people of all ages.

Swipers Gully Ward Councillor Kate McKay said “this engagement is an opportunity for residents to share how they use the area, what they love about it, and what they would like to see in the future”.

There is no budget for works at this stage, however the feedback collected will help guide planning, and ensure any future upgrades reflect community needs and aspirations.

Mayor John Dumaresq said “This consultation is an opportunity for locals to share how they use the space and to help shape its potential. Your feedback will guide us in preserving what you love while exploring new possibilities that reflect our shared vision.”

Community members can complete a short online survey to share their experiences and ideas for Alan Marshall Reserve.

Feedback closes 30 November.
