FAQ

A Master Plan provides an agreed future direction for Council and the community about the best way to develop a site. It considers the current and future uses, condition of facilities and social, environmental and economic factors. A Master Plan is not a commitment of funding to undertake immediate works.

The King George V Oval precinct is a large space that includes a senior cricket oval with turf wicket, basketball court, football field, playground and the large open space on top of the hill with amazing views and the off-leash dog area. Once adopted, this Master Plan will guide future use of this area as a recreational, sporting and green space for the local community and visitors. 

In 2018, Council worked with the Port Kembla community to develop the Port Kembla 2505 Revitalisation Plan. Action 6.5 of that Plan states that Council will undertake the King George V Master Plan design. 

No, there isn’t a draft Master Plan. The feedback provided through this engagement will help us develop the first draft of the Master Plan.

King George V Oval is a significant open space in Port Kembla as it provides opportunity for sport and recreation as well as being an important green space.
