New Draft Plan of Management for Cremorne Reserve

cremorne reserve

Feedback closed 21 November 2021

The new draft Plan of Management for Cremorne Reserve was on public exhibition from 6 October - 21 November 2021.

The draft Plan of Management (PoM) for Cremorne Reserve sets out Council’s land management objectives for the Reserve, addresses current issues and identifies and prioritises required work. It meets Council’s objectives regarding land management under the Local Government Act 1993, the Crown Land Management Act 2016 and the Native Title Act 1993 and enables flexibility of use by Council and the community.

Further background information on Cremorne Reserve is available on the ‘background’ tab below.

Council is progressively preparing a new suite of Plans of Management that address relevant Crown reserves to comply with the requirements of The Crown Land Management Act 2016 which came into force in July 2018.

Note: Submissions are considered open access information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. In the interests of public transparency, submission in its entirety may be made available via Council’s website. Submitters are encouraged to read Council’s Information Sheet: Making a Submission to Council prior to making a submission. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

For further information call Megan White, Council's Landscape Planner on 9936 8100.

Next Steps

Council’s project team is reviewing all submissions. A report to Council will outline the community’s responses to the draft PoM, and any changes needed to finalise the document resulting from the submissions. Once adopted, the document will replace Council’s existing PoM for Cremorne Reserve 2013.

Playgrounds are a special part of North Sydney’s open space network. They are more than equipment and physical spaces; they are places for families and friends to gather, places for activity, and places for learning. North Sydney provides a range of safe, fun, inclusive and challenging playgrounds for the community’s use and enjoyment. Our playgrounds are custom designed to complement the character of the parks in which they are located.

Council manages and maintains 33 playgrounds within an area of 10 square kilometres. For the purposes of this Plan of Management, playgrounds are public play environments comprising play equipment, complementary ancillary facilities such as fitness equipment and associated hard and soft landscape works. North Sydney’s playgrounds primarily cater for children aged from 2 to 12 and their parents and carers.

The Playgrounds Plan of Management also considers other public outdoor recreation facilities including fitness equipment, basketball rings, skate and scooter parks and the like. These facilities are often co-located with playgrounds, and cater to the needs of children, teens and older members of the community who have ‘outgrown’ playgrounds.

The Playgrounds Plan of Management examines the broad range of issues associated with playgrounds in North Sydney in a comprehensive and holistic manner. It sets out Council’s strategies to manage, upgrade and maintain its playgrounds and other outdoor recreation facilities over the next 5 - 10 years.
