Master Planning update

More than 40 community members participated in the Master Planning of Bob Blackburn Reserve and Gwynne Park Precinct in early June.

The project team will now begin preparing preliminary draft master planning concepts based on the feedback received. The City will re-engage the user groups and broader community to seek feedback on these draft master planning concepts in August 2015.

The City will be publicly advertising the draft master planning concepts, along with a summary of the information that has informed their development and will be holding follow up public workshops shortly.
