MCLEAN RESERVE UPGRADE OFFICIALLY OPENED IN BALLAN

Michaela Settle MP today joined Moorabool Shire Council to officially open the upgraded McLean Reserve in Ballan, delivering a revitalised space for recreation, heritage and community connection.

The upgrade includes:

• A new shelter and stage for community events and performances
• Modern playground equipment and seating areas
• Restoration of the historic horse trough and return of the MAPP Up in Lights noticeboard
• Landscaped gardens, improved pathways, upgraded lighting and drainage
• A lighting-commissioned pavilion, giving local artists the opportunity to showcase designs projected at night

The project will mean McLean Reserve remains a central gathering place for the Ballan community, supporting play, connection and local heritage. Moorabool Shire Council has been a key partner in delivering the project, helping shape a reserve that reflects the needs and character of Ballan.

Quotes attributable to Member for Eureka Michaela Settle:

“McLean Reserve has always been at the heart of Ballan. These upgrades will mean families have a safe and vibrant place to meet, play and celebrate our community.”
