Jack Roper Reserve in Broadmeadows is one of Hume’s most popular parks. We are committed to undertaking works to continue to improve its facilities and accessibility to park users. See below for a summary of recent work and what you can expect in the coming months.
Stage 1 (completed)
Installed new accessible public toilets on the east side of the reserve, near the fitness equipment. This toilet facility is open during daylight hours.
New toilet, drinking fountain and spectator shelter adjacent to the soccer field. This toilet is open during sporting events and club bookings only.
Stage 2 (construction, commencing mid-January 2025)
Path Upgrade: Transforming the existing gravel path into a durable concrete shared-user path, making it safer and more accessible for cyclists, walkers, joggers, and people using prams or wheelchairs.
Stormwater Harvesting System: Installing infrastructure to collect, treat, and reuse stormwater runoff for irrigation and environmental benefits. This system supports sustainable water management and enhances the park’s green spaces.
There will be some temporary access restrictions during construction stage to ensure safety of the community. Visitors are encouraged to be alert of detour signage for path closures.
Pathway restrictions commence mid-January 2025.
Stage 3 (design)
Investigating options for a path around the retarding basin (lake).
