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.
Blind Creek is complete (Stage 1)
388 Burwood Hwy, Wantirna South VIC 3152
Council worked closely with Melbourne Water 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.
The upgrades feature:
- three new wetlands
- foot paths
- a boardwalk
- bench seating
- viewing platforms
Construction was completed in late 2024.

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.
