About the Lewis Park 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 1 – Blind Creek upgrades are now complete
388 Burwood Highway, Wantirna South.
Council worked closely with Melbourne Water to improve Lewis Park.
These upgrades:
- returned Blind Creek to a natural creek between Scoresby Road and the retarding basin
- created wetlands for water quality treatment and habitat
- improved access and connectivity through landscaping, pedestrian bridges and boardwalks.
The upgrades feature:
- 3 new wetlands
- foot paths
- a boardwalk
- bench seating
- viewing platforms.
Construction was completed in late 2024.

Stage 2 – Sports and play hub
The sports and play hub will 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 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.
