FAQs
How will the actions within the master plan be funded ?
The implementation of the draft masterplan currently doesn't have an allocated budget.
It will require Council budget allocation, grant funding and contributions from community groups and organisations that will have direct benefit from the improvements.
What is the purpose of a master plan?
A master plan helps guide future decision making and determination of resource allocation for asset development and maintenance works.
A master plan provides guidance for Council to ensure future developments of facilities support increased participation, fiscally responsible investment, and considers current and future recreational needs.
Why a draft master plan and not a blank canvas?
It is important that a master plan links to existing Council plans and strategies, and is responsive to community expectations, as well as being achievable, realistic and attainable within Council’s budgetary framework.
By developing a draft based on these elements and consultation with key stakeholders and user groups, the draft provides a framework for the broader community to further develop and provide input on.
