Council is preparing a Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve Masterplan to guide future improvements, remediations and new works.

The Masterplan primarily considers the grounds, trails and amenities with the exception of the bathhouse itself which is managed separately. While there is no funding to implement any of the actions suggested in the Masterplan, it will allow Council to seek funding from future grant programs.

As a visitor or member of the community, your feedback is very important as we develop this Masterplan. To gather your thoughts, we've created two surveys - one for local businesses and one for visitors or community members. You can participate in the surveys by following the links below.

The purpose of these surveys is to identify how you currently use the reserve, what you love most about the area and what could be added or changed to improve the reserve for both the community and visitors. The existing character, connections to history, contributions to wellness and natural beauty are valued and will be central to the Masterplan.

The outcomes of this survey will be used to develop a draft Masterplan which we will make available for comment later in the year. Your thoughts and opinions are really valuable, and we thank you in advance for your participation.

There are several ways to have your say. You can:

• Fill in a survey using the links below.
• Make an email submission by reaching out to abreach@hepburn.vic.gov.au
• Attend a drop in session
  • Saturday 26 July from 10:00–11:30 am at the Mineral Springs Reserve near Soda Spring.
  • Wednesday 30 July 2025 from 2:00–3:00 pm at the Mineral Springs Reserve near Soda Spring.

All feedback is considered equally.
