The Elwood Foreshore is an important and valued place in the City of Port Phillip. Locals and visitors enjoy it all year round, and it is home to several sporting clubs and associations, businesses, and community spaced. Elwood's identity is closely tied to the foreshore.
City of Port Phillip is proactively planning for the renewal of Elwood Park, in a staged process to ensure the foreshore remains a high-quality public and natural place. Through the redevelopment, Council is seeking to replace aged infrastructure, improve compliance and accessibility issues, and address risks of climate change. Council has developed a site plan that considers Elwood Foreshore as a whole, rather than looking at each building or structure in isolation.
In addition, City of Port Phillip is committed to delivering high quality sport and recreation facilities to the local community. In recent years, Council has witnessed remarkable achievements in community sport and recreation, such as the triumphs of local sports clubs, the establishment of new women's and girls' teams, and have launched a review of the Sport and Active Recreation Strategy aimed at better understanding and addressing the needs of the community.
To complement the plans for the future of Elwood Park, Council welcomes Liberal candidate Benson Saulo's announcement of funding to upgrade Elwood Park Pavilion. If elected, funding will complete the first stage of the redevelopment of the pavilion.
