Feedback updated 16 May 2019

We asked

Between November 2018 to mid-January 2019 we sought your feedback on the Draft Plan. We asked whether you agreed with the general direction of the plan, and whether you had any suggestions to improve the plan.

You said

We received 10 responses. There was agreement on the general direction and that the plan is easy to follow. The inclusion of community gardens was suggested. A lot of the feedback related to operational matters that staff can address outside the scope of the plan.

We did

We included a general section on community gardens, and reference to Council’s community gardens guidelines. It was not considered appropriate to identify specific parks for community gardens as this is better determined when community groups express interest in establishing sustainable community gardens. Minor changes were also made to the Draft Plan to improve clarity and readability.

Overview

The Council is consulting on the Draft Neighbourhood and Amenity Reserves Management Plan, which covers how the city’s smaller open spaces will be operated.

Neighbourhood and Amenity Reserves are the smaller sized public open spaces that provide informal recreation spaces and amenity value which make for pleasant and attractive communities.

The Reserves Act 1977 requires the Council to review Reserve Management Plans every 10 years. The Draft Plan has been prepared by staff to provide clear vision and guidance for the ongoing maintenance of these reserves.
