Project background

This council bushland reserve at 152 Paynes Road, Ebenezer is a natural gem that will soon be accessible for visitors for the first time with exciting upgrades on the way.

Right now, the reserve remains untouched, offering a unique opportunity for community involvement in creating a functional and interesting destination for relaxation, connection and exploration. Council is inviting the community to help imagine what Paynes Road Reserve could become. We’d love your input on features such as:

  • resting points and lookout sites
  • themes and topics for education and trail signage
  • day use area amenities
  • landscaping features
  • creative installations or ideas

Your feedback will guide improvements funded through the Ti Tree Bioenergy Fund, which supports projects that deliver social and environmental benefits to the community.

Have your say before 8 March 2026 to help guide the design of Paynes Road Reserve.
