In 2024 we shared the revised Semaphore Foreshore Masterplan for your feedback. Find out more about the revised plan, what we heard and how we incorporated your feedback into the final design.

Following feedback we received during community engagement, we worked with our design team to refine and finalise the Master Plan for Semaphore Foreshore which includes the below adjustments:

• The inclusion of additional trees, where possible (increase from 23 to 45 additional trees)
• Suggested planting palette and tree selection (view full Master Plan)
• Clarification of the locations of seating, shelters and BBQ provisions
• More seating included throughout the site, including accessible seating.
• Further consideration of additional lighting options throughout the site
• Development of the Train Hub area, moving the station away from the road and increasing visibility. This location allows for the continuation of the foreshore shared pathway while also improving safety and movement along the Esplanade footpath, reducing visual impact for foreshore residents and allowing the creation of a new home for the historic steam train.

We asked our community if you supported the revised Draft Master Plan for Semaphore Foreshore. Following previous community engagements, a revised Draft Master Plan for Semaphore Foreshore was prepared that addressed the following key themes of previous consultation feedback:

1. Keep the Carousel in existing location
2. Events and Amusements requirements
3. Review Activity Hub location and activities
4. Retain monument location
5. Optimise amount of grass
6. Rationalise amount of paving
7. More shade/shelter, consider keeping large shelter
8. "Truly Semaphore" represent local character

*Relocation of the Train Hub to southern area of the foreshore adjacent the Esplanade
