Consultation has concluded
Feedback closed 21 November 2021
The new draft Plan of Management for Neighbourhood Parks was on public exhibition 6 October - 21 November 2021 (available in the document library or click here).
The draft Plan of Management (PoM) for Neighbourhood Parks sets out Council’s land management objectives for these small but significant areas of public open space, 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.
Further background information on Council's network of neighbourhood parks is available on the ‘background’ tab (below) or click here.
Please note, all parks and reserves located on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour or Middle Harbour are addressed in Council’s Plan of Management for Foreshore Parks & Reserves. It is anticipated that a new draft Plan of Management for Foreshore Parks & Reserves will be on public exhibition in early 2022.
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’sInformation Sheet: Making a Submission to Councilprior 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 Neighbourhood Parks 2010.
