Project details

What do you want the parklands to look like and be used for over the next 10 years?

Since 2014 Council has been gathering feedback from the community and stakeholders to find out how the Cooks River Parklands are being used, what the future needs are and how best to deliver services and facilities to meet these needs.


This feedback has been used to develop a Draft Plan of Management and Master Plan which will guide the parkland's use and future improvements over the next 10 years.


  • HJ Mahoney Reserve
  • Steel Park
  • Richardson’s Lookout
  • Warren Park
  • Cooks River Foreshore
  • Mackey Park
  • Kendrick Park, and
  • Fatima Island.

We'd now like to hear from you again before Council adopts the plans. This will make sure that the Cooks River Parklands meets the needs of the community now and in the future.
