Wayfinding plan
Latrobe City Council has a diverse range of tracks, trails and paths within the municipality.
In 2016, Latrobe City Council completed a Tracks Trails and Paths Strategy which made a number of recommendations, including the development of a wayfinding plan, building upon network maps.
A wayfinding plan as recommended in the Tracks Trails and Paths Strategy will be developed. The plan will identify the type of wayfinding signage required, a hierarchy system to assist in determining priorities and a five year action plan and associated costs for the signage.

Latrobe City and the Mathison Park Advisory Committee are currently undertaking a review of the existing management plan for Mathison Park in Churchill, which was developed in 2002.
The purpose of this project is to identify and review completed and outstanding projects. It will also identify new priorities that may have arisen from the site, and determine responsibilities for both Council and the Committee.
Latrobe City will be looking to engage with the community regarding their aspirations for the space in March 2018.

Recreation Needs Assessment and Recreation Infrastructure Policy
In November 2017, Latrobe City Council endorsed the Recreation Needs Assessment and Recreation Infrastructure Policy.
Latrobe City Council has a diverse range of recreation facilities across the municipality. All Council owned/managed facilities have been subject to detailed planning studies, including township and site specific master plan reviews.
The Recreation Needs Assessment now provides Council with a clear, objective direction and measurement on the prioritisation of recreation projects for the coming years. The Recreation Infrastructure Policy clearly outlines what Council will and won’t fund in terms of recreation infrastructure.
