What is a masterplan?

    A masterplan is a valuable land-use planning document which provides a co-ordinated and long-term approach for the way open space is improved into the future.  It establishes the future vision and work plan for a particular open space.

    Why is Council developing a Masterplan for Jenola Park?

    Council is progressively preparing masterplans for all open spaces that service a district need in the Sutherland Shire. The draft masterplan is an important move towards optimising the recreational value of Jenola Park to meet the needs of the community now and into the future.

    When will upgrades to Jenola Park begin?

    The Masterplan will follow a staged implementation plan:

    • Short-term work includes the sports field lighting upgrade, pedestrian access improvements and associated landscaping
    • Medium-term work includes the outdoor fitness equipment and improvements to public amenities
    • Long-term work will include the renewal of the sports field area for organised sports and the walking circuit. 

    Short term work is scheduled to start in 2022.

     

    Will Jenola Park be closed during the work?

    We will keep you updated about the timing of works. The Fields will remain open, however at times we may need to limit access to certain sections of the park as we carry out work.
