Round 2 Consultation 15 June - 3 July 2022 is now Complete

Round 2 information:

We shared an updated draft Masterplan for Majors Bay Reserve and consulted the community from 15 June - 3 July 2022.

"Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the Masterplan, which includes our plans for a $4.75 million upgrade funded by the Department of Planning and Environment through the NSW Public Spaces Legacy Program.

We received extensive feedback which we have incorporated into a revised draft concept design, which we believe better reflects the community’s vision for the future of the reserve. The engagement report can be viewed here.

The second draft masterplan can be viewed below and includes the below elements:

• New play centres
• A youth zone including pump tracks, half basketball courts, and parkour
• Connecting paths and mangrove boardwalk
• Changing places amenity (inclusive toilet facility)
• Planting of 250 trees and landscaping works
• Increase in park access points
• Environmental education kiosk
• Removal of carpark at Deakin Street, Concord and new parking proposals
• Improvements to the existing off-leash dog area in the northern edge of the reserve
• Kayak stop / launch facility.
