At its meeting on 13 February 2024, Council decided:

  1. That Council endorse the funding of lighting and inclusive/accessible pathway improvements along the Holmesdale Street Boundary of Henson Park as part of future budget considerations for the 2024/2025 financial year.
  2. That Council investigate further options to light the pathway surrounding the oval to accommodate joggers and dog walkers utilising this pathway.
  3. That Council, until the installation of permanent lighting, continue to light the oval until 8pm in winter months not affected by daylight saving, funded by the quarterly budget review and future budgets as needed.
  4. That Council notifies adjacent residents and park users of Council’s determination on this matter and the future works which are planned within the parkland to address inclusive access and safe dog walking within Henson Park after dark.
