Community Land

Council looks after land in public spaces like parks, natural areas, recreation spaces and cultural or heritage sites. This is called Community Land.

Some of the Community Land we manage is owned by Council. Some of the Community Land we manage is Crown Land owned by the NSW Government.

We have Plans of Management that explain how we look after Community Land.

Draft Community Land Plan of Management for Council Owned Land

Council has prepared a draft Community Land Plan of Management (PoM) for Council Owned Land. The draft Plan was placed on exhibition, and submissions closed on 12 Juy 2021.

Council will consider all submissions received on the Draft PoM at a future meeting of Council.

Current Plans

Our current Plans of Management are shown below. Community Land that doesn’t have an individual Plan of Management is looked after in line with the Generic Plan of Management.

Using Community Land

If you’d like to run an activity or event on Community Land, you will need to get Council’s approval. For Crown Land, you may also need permission from the State Government.
