From 17 November to 21 December 2025, over 740 people shared their ideas through an online survey, interactive map and various in-person sessions, improving our understanding of community needs and priorities for Rosanna Parklands. This was Banyule’s largest ever response to a park consultation, highlighting the deep connection the community has to the Parklands.

We are developing draft management plan principles and recommended actions, which we will share with the community for feedback in the coming months.

Your feedback will help develop draft management plan principles and actions, which will be available for community feedback soon!
Rosanna Parklands is one of Banyule and Rosanna’s most loved and visited parks . It has strong natural character, rich history and is an important part of Banyule’s park network.
The 25-hectare reserve has open spaces, bushland and areas for fun. Community go there to walk, jog, ride bikes, walk their dogs and have picnics. Banyule’s Bushland Team looks after the park with help from local volunteers.
Salt Creek runs through the middle of the park. There are two playgrounds: a bigger one in the centre and a smaller one in the north. A gravel path about 2.7 km long goes around the park, and there are lots of smaller tracks too. There is even a dirt jump area for bikes. Community groups help care for the park’s natural spaces.
To manage and protect the Parkland's special character, we’re making a management plan. This plan will guide future decisions about the park and is an action in the Banyule Public Open Space Plan (2016–2031). We’ll use your feedback from Stage 1 to create key principles for Council decisions. These principles will make sure decisions are:
Our community is made up of diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, sexualities, ages and genders. We are committed to access, equity, participation and rights for everyone: principles which empower, foster harmony and increase the wellbeing of an inclusive community.
Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region’s history.
