Revised Fernadell Park Masterplan gets the green light

24 October 2022

It’s all systems go for Fernadell Park in Pitt Town following the adoption of the Fernadell Park Masterplan and Plan of Management at the Council Meeting on 11 October 2022.

Council will receive $3.3 million from the NSW Government to develop sporting facilities at the park and Council will contribute an additional $1.68 million, to build Stage 1 of the approximately $11 million project.

The next step will be developing the detailed design with key community stakeholders being involved in the process.

Pitt Town residents were consulted throughout the development of the plans, with Council actively listening to community suggestions.

Fernadell Park will be an exciting inclusion to the growing village of Pitt Town and a must-visit park in the Hawkesbury,” Mayor McMahon said.

“The $3.3 million from the NSW Government will mean local families will have access to high quality sporting and recreational facilities.”

State Member for Hawkesbury, Robyn Preston, said it was great to hear that community members would continue their involvement through developing the detailed design with Council.

“Playing sport with your local team is a quintessential part of the Hawkesbury lifestyle,” Ms Preston said.

“I know our Hawkesbury community will  enjoy the benefits of another location for sport and active recreation.”

The plans that were recently on public exhibition were adopted with minor changes such as inclusion of a small play space between the sports amenity building and multi-use courts, partial piping of the north-south drainage channel to increase on-site parking, and continued utilisation of the existing recycled water infrastructure for all irrigation requirements.
