Adopted by Council - Mackey Park Plan of Management

11 December 2023

At its meeting on 5 December 2023 Council adopted the Plan of Management and Master Plan. Council’s decision is as follows:

  1. That Council as Crown land manager of Mackey Park adopt the Plan of Management (Lot 70, Lot 71 DP 1066013 and Lot 7307 DP 1145332).
  2. That the Concordia Club is recognised as a standalone entity with its own agreement with Crown Lands and as such the Master Plan be amended to reflect this, and that the aspects of the POM relating to the Concordia Club be further considered as part of a standalone plan of management process in early 2024.
  3. That Council undertake further community engagement with the Concordia Club in early 2024.
  4. That Council, concurrently, considers a further report in relation to a priority action plan for future key deliverables outlined in the draft Plan of Management.
  5. That Council write to the Concordia Club Executive, confirming that upon adoption, the Plan of Management for Mackey Park requires that any future opportunity for the redevelopment of the Concordia Club as a shared community sports hub and commercial space (restaurant), by community tenants in Mackey Park would be subject to agreement by the Concordia Club and Crown Lands. This would require the development of a formal legal agreement between all parties. In the letter, Council should also note that a separate process will occur in early 2024 to finalise those aspects of the POM that involve the Concordia Club.
  6. That Council note the urgent need for improved lighting on the pathway along the northern edge of Mackey Park and considers the upgrade as part of the budget considerations for the 2024/25 financial year.
