Space Bookings Now Open
Wyndham City Council says community bookings for the Point Cook Pop Up Park will open from mid-2026, after consultation showed strong support for the space to remain as a shared public park.
Council said bookings will be handled through its own system, with community groups, local organisations and other users able to apply through a formal process.
Feedback gathered through recent consultation found many residents want the park to stay open as a place for connection, cultural celebrations, small events and wider community use.
Wyndham City Mayor Cr Preet Singh said the park had become an important local space.
“The Point Cook Pop Up Park has proven its value as a vibrant community space,” Cr Singh said.
“The feedback was clear, residents want this space to remain available for community use, and we are acting on that.”
The site will continue to be managed by Stockland, with council saying the partnership will help keep the park operating as part of the wider town centre.
Deputy Mayor Cr Jasmine Hill said the council wanted to keep the park open while moving to a new booking model.
“The strong feedback from residents shows just how important this space is for connection, celebration and local activity, and we are committed to keeping it accessible for community use into the future,” she said.
“Our priority is to ensure this valued space remains open and accessible to the community while we transition to a new way of working with all stakeholders and our community.”
Council said the park will be available for a broad range of activities, including community and cultural gatherings, once bookings open.
Restrictions will apply to event sizes, ticketed events, alcohol and some commercial uses, with council saying those limits are designed to keep the space safe and suitable for a neighbourhood setting.
Cheetham Ward councillor Susan McIntyre said community feedback had helped shape the outcome.
“This was made possible by the strong and positive feedback from our community. This space was created with the community at its heart, beginning with Sara Mitchell and I, and the support of our community. It is wonderful to see it continue to be enjoyed by so many.”
