FAQs
Why are you proposing to upgrade amenities at Jarrahdale Oval?
Jarrahdale Oval is a strategic location, for trail and tourism related activities.
The site offers additional opportunities to run a series of annual events bringing the community together. The site is currently underutilised and not adequate when used by various trail users.
The Jarrahdale Trail Town Business Case has confirmed the potential and function the Jarrahdale Oval would play for the future Trail Town accreditation.
Will the area continue to accommodate for equine users?
The Jarrahdale Trail Town Business Case and additional consultation with user groups have confirmed that equine riders are the primary users of the facility.
The proximity to local equine trails, including in Langford Park (and the future Jarrahdale Bridle Trail) will consolidate the site as a central trailhead accommodating equine riders.
The Master Plan took these considerations to include horse float parking, tie up areas, toilets and water sources, as well as continue to support camping.
When will the oval be developed?
The timeframe for the development of the Jarrahdale Oval site is yet to be determined.
How is Jarrahdale Oval intended to be utilised in the future?
While the Jarrahdale Oval will play a key role for trail users and visitors, it will continue to support recreational activities for residents through a series of annual events and activation activities.
Will the connection between the oval and Jarrahdale townsite be improved?
The Jarrahdale Oval will play key roles in relation to the town centre. It will act as an entry statement from Nettleton Road, entice visitors to stop for tourism information, relay wayfinding information and promote an alternative drive to the town centre.
Will Jarrahdale Oval continue to be a designated off-leash dog exercise area?
The Jarrahdale Oval Master Plan presents an opportunity to expand the off-leash dog exercise area, using the natural assets of the native trees to create a unique shaded zone, designed to facilitate socialising among dog owners.
