Find out how we propose to care for and manage this open space over the next ten years.

At its meeting on Tuesday 11 April 2023 Council endorsed the draft documents for public exhibition.

How did we get here?

In mid 2022 we asked you to tell us 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.

The plans were developed through the following:

• Policy review identifying the opportunities and constraints presented by national and local government initiatives.
• Demographic review identifying the local community profile.
• Review of site ownership and legal categorisation.
• Identification of applicable statutory conditions and legislation.
• Undertaking a detailed site analysis.
• Undertaking Community Engagement through drop in sessions and an online survey.
• Analysis of the outcomes of the Context Review, Site Analysis and Community Engagement Outcomes to develop Key Objectives and Strategies for management and action.
• Application of the physical strategies within the Draft Master Plan.

Read about the initial engagement on these plans.

The document consist of two parts:

1. Plan of Management is a guiding framework which directs the future vision, planning, management and sue of the park. It will be be used to inform the development of the park over the next ten years.
2. 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.
