Background Information

The aim of this Plan of Management (POM) is to provide direction for the use and management of Council-owned community land and Council-managed Crown reserves categorised as Sportsground, Park and General Community Use across the Wingecarribee Local Government Area (LGA). The Plan has been prepared by Wingecarribee Shire Council.

The POM is required in accordance with Section 36 of the Local Government Act 1993 (LG Act) and Section 3.23 of the Crown Land Management Act 2016 (CLM Act). It's a specific document covering the community land within the Wingecarribee Shire categorised as Sportsground, Park and General Community Use.

This POM is a generic document and covers most of the community land and open space within the Wingecarribee LGA categorised as Sportsground, Park and/or General Community Use, which is further categorised into Bushland and Watercourse. Although the primary purpose of the land is public recreation and community use small sections of some of the reserves are also categorised Natural Areas.

Your feedback is a way for you to share your thoughts and ideas on a particular issue or project. The goal is to make sure your voice and the community’s voices are heard and considered. It helps provide valuable insights, identify potential issues and suggest improvements. This way, decisions can be more inclusive, transparent and effective, reflecting what you and the community really needs and wants.

Responses to engagement projects are compiled and considered. When projects are reported to Council to make a decision a summary of community feedback will be included. Updates on projects will be included in these pages and elsewhere on Council's website.

Sometimes it takes some months to provide feedback to the community and to make a decision as further investigation is often needed. We are listening and we do take your suggestions on board!
