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.
It features a historic band rotund built in 1936. The romantic history of Captain Thunderbolt and Mary Ann Bugg at White Horse Point also offers some intrigue. Community facilities include playground, swimming at Dawn Frazer Baths and accessible toilets.
It is now time to plan for the future use and maintenance of Elkington Park. We want to know how you currently use this park and how you would like to use it in the future.
Your feedback will inform the draft Plan of Management and Master Plan.
In November 2018, Council adopted Open Space Areas POM priorities list. Elkington Park is on the priority list.
We are preparing a Plan of Management (POM) and Master Plan for Elkington Park. The POM is a guiding document which directs the future planning, management and use of the park. The POM is accompanied by the Master Plan which outlines the vision and actions required for improvement over the next 10 years.
A Plan of Management is a useful tool to provide strategic planning and governance for the management and use of land. The plans set out objectives and performance targets for community land and promote active land management.
Councils are required to develop plans of management under Local Government Act 1993 (LG Act)
The current Plan of Management for Elkington Park was adopted in 2004.
