BARWON HEADS CARAVAN PARKThe Barwon Heads Caravan Park including Howard Harmer Oval is Crown Land with Barwon Coast Committee the delegated land manager under the Crown Land Reserves Act. The caravan park is a popular costal visitor destination and promotes a family friendly park character.

The Howard Harmer Oval is the home of the Barwon Heads Football and Netball Club (BHFNC). The Club uses the oval, netball courts, MPF and other facilities, subject to lease and licence agreements.

The master plan has been developed to guide staged future management and priorities for redevelopment of key facilities within the precinct over the next ten years. The master plan aims to support long term sustainable and equitable use of area by caravan park visitors, BHFNC and the local community.

Key overall recommendations include:• Undertake staged upgrade and improvement of

sporting and community facilities and infrastructure to cater for existing and future use.

• Expand shared use of existing and new facilities while maintaining a seasonal balance between caravan park, community and sporting use.

• Improve accessibility, pedestrian safety and traffic management at exiting entry/exit points, roadways and parking areas.

• Protect and enhance existing Moonah trees and Alkaline Dune Scrub vegetation communities.

with signage and bollards to improve pedestrian safety. (H)

Extend spectator parking to eastern side of oval for match days. Allow cars to exit via Bluff Road on match days with new speed humps and vehicle control fencing to slow and restrict traffic movement through the camping area. (H)

Relocate the existing Bluff Road boom gate to restrict spectator access to holiday villa area. (H)

Restrict vehicle re entry at Bluff Road using retractable metal spikes. (H)

Retain vehicle control to limit additional traffic into 12 month permit sites and other areas of the caravan park. (O)

Widen the narrow section at the Works Depot using low T/Pine retaining walls and install a new two way electronic access gate. (H)

Relocate existing ticket box adjacent to new entry gate and formalise the vehicle turnaround area (H)

Install brush fencing to improve visual amenity at the works depot and storage area. (H)

Install directional signage to BHFNC on Ewing Blyth Drive and Bluff Road with larger sign and club logo above the new gate. (H)

Install directional signage to and from the overflow car park to the oval and MPF. (H)

Formalise negotiated one way access beside the netball court (priority to eastbound traffic)

HOWARD HARMER OVALResurface the existing oval to improve drainage and existing surface for football. (H)

Replace the boundary fence, realigning slightly to retain existing playing field size with AFL preferred clearances at 4.0m. (M)

Replace existing coaches boxes. (M) Relocate and reuse existing water tanks at

amenity blocks. (M) Install new goal kicking net (L) Investigate new electronic scoreboard for east

side of oval. (L) Investigate opening the T6 Amenities Block for

use by spectators on the grass viewing area and east side of the oval on match days only.

MULTI PURPOSE FACILITY (MPF) The MPF supports a range of social,

community and sporting use by members of the Barwon Heads Football and Netball Club, Barwon Coast Committee, Caravan Park visitors and the local community. Proposed works include:

• Coordinate an events calendar 12 months in advance to improve notification and reduce impacts of BHFNC functions and events on caravan park residents and visitors. (VH)

• Improve pedestrian safety and accessibility at the building entry. (H)

• Investigate options to provide additional female change rooms, upstairs mens toilets, administration area, and gymnasium within the existing building footprint in accordance with Victorian Coastal Design Guidelines.(M)

• Improve outdoor spectator facilities and access to public toilets. (M)

Refer Detail Plans 1 and 2

VEGETATION MANAGEMENTAll types of vegetation in coastal areas play a role in reducing exposure to wind and sun. There is an existing mature Moonah Tree and mature Pine Tree located within the sporting precinct. The Pine tree is protected under the Heritage Overlay. Ongoing management of the park is targeted to rehabilitate toward Moonah Woodland character. Protect existing mature Moonah tree from

vehicle and pedestrian traffic and encourage regeneration. (H)

Monitor existing large Pine tree on eastern side of oval. (O)

Protect existing areas of indigenous coastal vegetation and continue best practice costal vegetation management. (O)

CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUESAreas within Barwon Heads Caravan Park have been identified as of cultural and archaeological significance including midden shells and stone artefacts.

Liaise with the Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation to improve understanding of Aboriginal cultural heritage on this site and assess the need for a Cultural Heritage Management Plan prior to completion of any works involving ground disturbance.

NETBALL-TENNIS COURTSThe existing netball-tennis courts do not meet current Netball Victoria standards. Key recommendations include:• Reset fencing and resurface courts to meet

current standards. (VH)• Improve spectator and administrative facilities.

(VH)• Formalise parking to improve safety.(H)• Provide an off road pedestrian path link to the

MPF. (H)• Provide an off road pedestrian path link to the

MPF. (H)• Establish picnic and BBQ area.(M)• Retain facilities for summer tennis use. (O)• Continue netball club use of the T9 Amenities

Block. (O)Refer Detail Plan 2

VEHICLE ACCESS AND PARKINGThe existing unsealed road network to the oval from Bluff Road does not meet standards for two way traffic at levels experienced on match days and training nights. Informal parking arrangements for players, spectators and other users contribute to traffic congestion and pedestrian safety issues. Proposed works include:

Widen and asphalt the through road from Bluff Road to the MPF and netball courts formalising two way access. (H)

The Barwon Heads Caravan Park Draft Master Plan has been prepared in consultation with key stakeholders including DELWP, Barwon Heads Football and Netball Club, Caravan Park Management and the local community.
