Project details
Elkington Park is a stunning park with great views and lots of shaded areas to play. It is very popular for family gatherings, weddings and other community events.
At its meeting on Tuesday 9 May 2023 Council endorsed the draft Plan of Management and Master Plan for public exhibition.
We are inviting you to provide your feedback on how we propose to care for and manage this open space for the next ten years.
During August 2022 we asked you about this open space. Your feedback and input from other stakeholders were used along with research and expert advice to create the draft Plan of Management and Master Plan.
- Plan of Management is a guiding framework which directs the future vision, planning, management and sue of the park. It will be used to inform the development of the park over the next ten years.
- Master Plan is a design report outlining the actions required for improvement, intended to guide the physical upgrade of the site over the next ten years. It does this by suggesting how the strategies set out in the Plan of Management can be translated into site specific gestures for application to the park.
