The City of Greater Bendigo is currently undertaking a Master Plan for the rejuvenation and extension of the Botanic Gardens at White Hills, Bendigo. This will guide the restoration of the existing culturally significant site and also plan for the extension of the Gardens, creating a new, engaging and contemporary botanic gardens in what is now open paddocks.

As a precedent to the Master Plan, a Heritage Significance Assessment and Strategy (HSAS) for the existing gardens was produced in 2007, with the major recommendations of this adopted by council in September 2007.
