Will the project include connections to the creek?
The draft master plan will consider how best to address the interface between Victoria Park and the creek line e.g. fencing, pedestrian access, sediment and erosion control.
What previous consultation and research has been considered?
Earlier broad consultation about sport and recreation needs across the Shire gave us more insight into the sentiment in Picton, around the community’s aspirations and vision for local sport and recreation. Best practice examples and research into the local context have also factored into the planning process for Victoria Park.
The first phase of community engagement specifically for Victoria Park provided a concept layout. This was not yet a Master Plan, but an early concept to start discussions with stakeholders and community members. Feedback received during this community consultation was used to define and develop the draft Master Plan, which we are now presenting in phase two of community engagement through the Public Exhibition process.
