The completion of the Alma Treloar Masterplan Implementation Stage 2 project was announced on Friday, 28 March 2025, in Cockatoo. The project delivered a new outdoor performance area and new park facilities at Cockatoo’s Alma Treloar Reserve.
Improvements include a new amphitheatre with a stage featuring a shade sail canopy, two barbecues, picnic settings and shelters, additional seating in and around the playground area and additional trees.
The upgrades will support the community by providing access to a better open space where people can meet, learn, play and be active.
With more families moving into the area, these new and improved facilities will capitalise on the central location within Cockatoo township and surrounding rural towns – while ensuring the reserve is accessible to a range of different users.
The $944,100 project was jointly funded by the Cardinia Shire Council, the Victorian State Government and Commonwealth Government, with $180,000 coming from the Victorian State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund.
