Final master plan 2025-2035 unveiled
Following a comprehensive feedback and review process, including 680 community survey responses, we have developed a final master plan to guide the future use of the Precinct over the next 10 years.
The master plan will be delivered in stages and funding is currently being sought to enable its implementation.
Key Highlights
Open space, accessibility and diversity were among the key feedback themes which have helped inform the final design of the master plan.
The master plan includes upgrades to existing facilities, as well as the addition of new facilities. For example, the final design retains the existing open space footprint, but has added accessible pathways and there is more off-street parking.
