Thank you for sharing your ideas for the City Oval Masterplan. The first phase of the engagement has closed. We're reviewing your feedback to shape the draft City Oval Masterplan. We are consolidating the feedback into an Engagement Summary report which will be published in Feburary 2026.
Stay updated by clicking 'follow' button in the heading. We look forward to engaging again with community on the draft masterplan in April 2026.
The City Oval Precinct Masterplan is focused on shaping the future of one of Ballarat’s most significant sporting and community locations. With a history dating back to 1898 and a strong tradition of hosting football, netball, lawn bowls, athletics and community and cultural events, the precinct remains a central gathering space for our community.
Recent upgrades, including improved change rooms, have addressed some needs, but further planning is required to ensure the precinct continues to meet modern standards for accessibility, safety, and inclusivity. The masterplan seeks to enhance the precinct's functionality, accessibility, and amenity for a wide range of users, while preserving its heritage significance and role as a key community and recreation precinct.
