Have Your Say on Community Land Plans of Management

6 January 2021

Council would like your feedback on local parks in the Hawkesbury to help to develop its generic Community LandPlans of Management.

Council is updating its Community Land Plans of Management for parks and reserves in the Hawkesbury as a result of the legislation changes to the Crown Land Management Act 2016. Community consultation is a vital part of the planning process and your contribution is welcomed. You can provide feedback via the Have Your say tab on Council’s webpage www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au or the direct link www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au up to Sunday, 14 February 2021.

Most parks and reserves will be covered under a generic Plan of Management. This means that one plan will cover multiple reserves and will address broad objectives and management actions.

Some parks will be covered by site specific Plans of Management in which there are complex management issues that need to be addressed or in which heritage or environmental significance has been identified. Individual plans currently being developed include: McQuade Park, Windsor; Macquarie Park, Freemans Reach; McMahons Park, Kurrajong; and Yarramundi Reserve, Yarramundi. Further information about particular site-specific plans of management can be found on Council’s Your Hawkesbury Your Say consultation page, under individual project banners. This can be accessed on Council’s webpage www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au via the Have Your say tab or the link www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au

Submissions may also be made in writing, please quote Reference: Community LandPlans of Management, addressed to the General Manager, Hawkesbury City Council by mail PO Box 146, Windsor NSW 2756, or by email to council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au up to Sunday, 14 February 2021.

Developing Plans of Management does not represent a formal commitment to funding. The plans will be guiding documents; their main purpose is to consider and allow for appropriate usage and to prioritise potential capital works projects to further the recreational opportunities of the site whilst ensuring all values are protected.

Should you have any enquiries with respect to this matter, please contact Council’s Parks and Recreation Manager on (02) 4560 4444 or email enquiries to council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au
