The goal of the Coastal Reserves Plan of Management (PoM) is to look after, maintain and improve our unique and iconic parks and reserves. Your feedback will help us develop the PoM to manage their sustainable use.Waverley Council is land manager for all 13 coastal reserves. As part of our legislative requirement, we must have a long-term plan for each. The 13 reserves and parks covered in this PoM are:
- Clarke Reserve (Crown land)
- Jensen Ave. Reserve (Community land)
- Tower St Reserve (Community land)
- Diamond Bay Reserve (Community land)
- Eastern Reserve (Crown land)
- Weonga Reserve (Crown land)
- Rodney Reserve (Crown land)
- Raleigh Reserve (Crown land)
- Ben Buckler Park & Ray O’Keefe Reserve (Crown Land)
- Calga Reserve (Community land)
- Hunter Park (Crown land)
- Marks Park (Crown land)
- Gaerloch Reserve (Crown land)
This is the first of three rounds of community consultation. In this round, we need your help to better understand how and when you visit the reserves, which ones are most popular, and what you want to see happen with them in the future.
This is not about planning for capital works or buildings but maintaining a sustainable and community-led approach to the management of the parks and reserves.
