Two major new green spaces are on the horizon for Melbourne’s growing suburbs, with draft master plans released for the Clyde Regional Park and the Werribee Township Regional Park. Minister for Environment Steve Dimopoulos has invited Victorians to have their say as part of the next phase of planning, with feedback open until Thursday 27 November 2025.
Both projects are designed to give residents in the city’s outer areas more opportunities to connect with nature, exercise and unwind closer to home. The plans have been shaped by community feedback, alongside detailed environmental studies and design work to ensure accessibility and safety.
In Melbourne’s south-east, the proposed Clyde Regional Park will span 120 hectares and sit alongside new housing in Clyde South and a future sports precinct. The park will feature open green spaces, walking trails and areas for outdoor recreation, offering locals a chance to enjoy nature without leaving their neighbourhood.
Meanwhile, in the west, the Werribee Township Regional Park will link with Presidents Park and Riverbend Historical Park to create more than 340 hectares of connected parkland. The site will provide nature trails, shared paths and riverfront areas for dog walking, cycling and bird watching, helping to connect the growing Tarneit and Wyndham Vale communities with the Werribee River.
Both projects are part of the Victorian Government’s $315 million Suburban Parks Program, which aims to deliver over 6,500 hectares of open space across the city’s expanding outer suburbs.
Minister Dimopoulos said the new parks will give Melbourne families more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
“We are delivering big new parks in Melbourne’s growing outer suburbs to make sure all families have the opportunity to explore and play outdoors,” he said.
