Thomas Turner Reserve is a large open space located in Valley View, that incorporates three sports playing fields, a par three golf course, a walking and cycling trail along the Dry Creek corridor, a community playground and outdoor fitness equipment.

Council made the decision in February 2024, to close the Valley View Driving Range and repurpose the space into a community open space area, following a thorough review of the site's operations and condition. You can view portions of the Council Report that were released from confidence as part of the 10 December 2024 Council Meeting Agenda, below.

The decision to close the driving range is consistent with the Master Plan Option A that was completed for Thomas Turner Reserve and endorsed by Council. A budget has been allocated within the 2024/25 Annual Business Plan to progress with Detailed Design for a community open space that will incorporate the area previously used by the driving range. This space is proposed to include grassed open space, a playspace, BMX pump track, skate facility/precinct and a carpark.

More information on this new community recreation space will be coming soon. Please follow this project to receive updates and notifications when there are opportunities to provide your ideas and feedback.
