Consultation has concluded

The consultation period has now closed, and the Engagement Report is available for viewing.

The Master Planhas 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.
