The final Master Plan presented in this report for Council approval has responded to extensive
community consultation feedback (over 1000 residents engaged) and reflects significant changes
from the draft Master Plan presented in June 2024. Key topics such as carparking, tennis court,
playgrounds, boating, public amenities, pathways, river edge treatments were addressed and the
final Master Plan was well received with largely positive feedback during the third round of
community engagement.
