Planning for 46 Crown Reserves - Proposed Community Land Categories
Consultation has concluded
Changes in Crown land management legislation now require Council to apply Local Government Act 1993 community land categories to 46 Crown reserves. Community land categories are applied to land by the making of a plan of management. The community land categories that can be applied to Crown reserves are:
- Park
- Sportsground
- General Community Use
- Natural Area (with subcategories of watercourse, bushland, wetland, foreshore or escarpment)
- Area of Cultural Significance
Each community land category has core objectives under the Act that guide the land use, management and leasing or licensing of that land with that category. Council has proposed a community land category or a mix of community land categories for each of the 46 Crown Reserves and would like your feedback.
This is the first stage in the development of future draft Plans of Management over these 46 reserves in a 3-staged process, shown on the right. You may just want to be kept informed of the next stages or you may want to provide Council with insights gained from your use of any of these 46 Crown reserves.
Each of the 46 Crown reserves is listed by suburb. By clicking on a reserve name you will find the following for that reserve:
- An aerial map with reserve boundaries (boundaries are set by the Minister, not Council)
- The location of the reserve to nearest street or address
- The proposed community land mix (Council is seeking feedback on this during stage 1)
- The Crown Reserve Purpose (reserve purpose is set by the Minister)
- Initial Category under the Crown Land Management Act (Initial Category set by the Minister)
- Key considerations for the reserve
You can view the above information for each of the Crown reserves we're beginning to plan for and provide feedback by clicking on the name of the reserve that you're interested in:
