Land acquisitions for new open space

Our Council is committed to supporting the ongoing delivery of high quality, multipurpose and community-driven public space in our City.

That’s why we have acquired several properties within St Kilda and St Kilda East for the creation of much-needed open space.

As our City continues to grow and change, Council has observed an increased demand for the use of public open space.

There are significant gaps in our public open space network within Balaclava, St Kilda and St Kilda East. As such, these areas are a focus for Council to deliver additional open space now and in the future.

To ensure residents and visitors have access to quality open space, Council recently acquired several properties within St Kilda and St Kilda East for the creation of additional open space.

This delivers on priority actions in our Places for People: Public Space Strategy 2022 – 2032. Council has acquired these properties in line with our new Public Space Land Acquisition Strategy.

The new open spaces will be located at:

• 15 Marriott Street, St Kilda
• 49, 49A and 51 Pakington Street, St Kilda
• 30 Kalymna Grove, St Kilda East
• 14 Lansdowne Road, St Kilda East
• 43 Pakington Street, St Kilda 

Community engagement is being carried out for each of these new spaces and the community have the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed small parks projects.

Register on Council’s Have Your Say page for updates for future community consultation.

Engagement has previously been carried out for 43 Pakington Street, St Kilda. Please visit the following link for further information: Expansion of Pakington Street Reserve | Have Your Say Port Phillip
