Reports indicate Victoria Park Golf Range – one of Australia’s busiest and most accessible golf facilities – will close at the end of May this year to make way for the proposed Olympic stadium precinct ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
The proposal features three kilometres of running, walking and cycling paths, adventure and nature playgrounds, a footy field, skate park, BMX track, fitness trail and dog park with a reduced 18-hole public golf course and high-tech driving range.
Monash Council has a vote scheduled for next Tuesday, February 27, after a six-month period of consultation with the community with two options canvassed – to retain the golf course or to close it and create parkland.
