Have your say on Balmoral/Perry Park


Community perception engagement 2023

Our initial community engagement on the Balmoral/Perry Park was completed in late-2023.

What we asked

We're planning to build a new park on the corner of Balmoral and Perry streets in South Yarra.

At present, a portion of the site is grassed, but we plan to transform the whole parcel of land into an inviting park the local community can enjoy.

To help us develop the park design we first want to understand how you would like to use the space and what features you would like to see in the park.

Our vision is for a park where the local community can get out in the sunshine, enjoy nature, relax under a shady tree and socialise with friends and family.

The size and residential setting of the park means it's not suitable for active recreation, but it can sure pack a punch as a place to relax and enjoy your local neighbourhood.

Help us understand what’s important to you, so we can build a park you will love.
