/ HOWARD HARMER OVAL PRECINCT MASTER PLAN
BARWON HEADS CARAVAN PARK
Community Information Leaflet #2

The Barwon Coast Committee of Management (BCCM) in partnership with the Barwon Heads Football and Netball Club (BHFNC) has commissioned Thompson Berrill Landscape Design to develop a master plan to guide the development and use of the oval precinct for the next 10 years.

The Master Plan aims to provide a realistic and achievable program of works to accomplish the following objectives:

Provide recommendations for all passive and active recreational user groups that are balanced against the social,economic, heritage and environmental values of the Barwon Heads Caravan Park.

Address the needs of the active sporting areas, including the football club, netball club and use of site facilities.

Complete an analysis of the existing sporting club facilities to accommodate existing use and sustainable future growth.

Assess accessibility, traffic management and car parking issues and provide recommendations.

Protect areas of environmental and cultural heritage sensitivity.

Key overall recommendations of the Draft Master Plan include:

  • Undertake staged upgrade and improvement of sporting and community facilities and infrastructure to cater for existing and future use.
  • Expand shared use of existing and new facilities while maintaining a seasonal balance between Caravan Park, community and sporting use.
  • Improve accessibility, pedestrian safety and traffic management at exiting entry/exit points, roadways and parking areas.
  • Protect and enhance existing Moonah trees and Alkaline Dune Scrub vegetation communities.

The Draft Master Plan is available from Barwon Coast either as a hard copy at our offices at the Barwon Heads Caravan Park or online at;
