A renewed vision for Lucindale's Loechel Park is now open for public comment with the release of the Draft Loechel Park Masterplan.
Loechel Park is a 30-acre native vegetation parcel of land located in the heart of the Limestone Coast approximately 40km from Naracoorte, 4km from Lucindale and 50km from the coastal town of Kingston.
In 2019 Naracoorte Lucindale Council engaged consultants to prepare a Masterplan and Urban Design Framework for the Lucindale Township. The aim of this Plan is to guide future development, the use of public land and facilities, future sustainability of the community and opportunities for enhancement of public spaces and facilities. It was identified by the community that Loechel Park was a poor-quality space with low levels of utilization and upgrades to Loechel Park would promote better use and activity there, offering new nature-based opportunities in Lucindale.
The Loechel Park Masterplan has been developed in collaboration between Naracoorte Lucindale Council and representatives of LINC and the intent is to deliver a community-driven Plan that is supported by Council and the community.
The vision of the Loechel Park Masterplan is to create a local nature-based precinct on Lucindale’s doorstep as both a tourism and community asset, building on the growing trail network in the Naracoorte Lucindale Council area. This Plan will outline the key projects and steps for implementation, along with estimated costings, to enable LINC and Council to progress works, seek external grant funding and make strategic and budgetary decisions in the future.

✅ $403,000 in new projects have been identified for Loechel Park:
