Have your say in Mount Martha Public Golf Course’s redevelopment

POSTED ON September 8, 2020 @ 8:07 pm

Now you can have your say in the redevelopment in one of the most popular golf course on the Mornington Peninsula.

After quoteations were seeked earlier this year, @leisure Planners and WellPlayed was been engaged by Mornington Peninsula Shire to manage Mount Martha Public Golf Course redevelopment.

Seeking public opinion

The Shire is now inviting the wider public to have their say in the golf course’s long term vision and contribute to this project.

All aspects of the popular site will be reviewed, including its role as a significant open space for the Peninsula and its role in providing for golf in the Shire.

Now, input from users, residents, clubs, community groups and other stakeholders are wanted to find out:

- What you value about the open space and the golf course?
- How could the golf course, the service its offers and the open space generally be improved?
- What are the issues, challenges and opportunities that the strategic plan needs to address?
- Thinking about future generations, what is your vision for this site?

Course review

As part of this review and through working with the community and key stakeholders, the Shire will be preparing:

a ‘State of Play’ report about its management and performance as a golf course and as a regional open space
an ‘Issues and Options” paper assessing the future development opportunities and desirable directions
a ‘Long Term Plan’ for the site in line with the Council’s vision, plans and relevant legislation.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor and Briars Ward Councillor Sam Hearn said: “With close to 40,000 rounds of golf played per year, the Mount Martha Public Golf Course is a much-loved facility on the Mornington Peninsula. We are keen to hear from you, its users, to find out what you value the most about the space and what can be improved”.
