The Master Plan has been drafted to ensure the park’s continued development and to optimise use. This plan will serve as a strategic framework for the management and enhancement of Findlay Park, addressing community needs and recreational opportunities. By implementing a Master Plan, the Council can ensure that the park remains well-maintained and effectively managed, catering to the diverse needs of residents and sporting clubs alike.
Pre-design consultation
A Council/Community co-design workshop was deemed an effective way to gather community input because it values the knowledge and expertise of community members, promotes collaboration and engagement, and fosters a sense of ownership and empowerment.
The co-design workshop successfully fostered collaboration among sport club members, facilitating their active involvement in proposing ideas for the Master Plan.
