Stawell Parks Precinct Master Plan

Become involved in the development of the Central Park, Cato Park and Maud Street Dams Master Plan.  

Participate in community consultations as an individual, group or organisation.

Project details

Central Park, Cato Park, and Maud Street dams currently provide a great opportunity for organised and casual community participation.

There has been significant work and consultation undertaken in recent years to identify that the Central Park, Cato Park, and Maud Street dams areas are suitable sites for the development of new and improved community infrastructure to house and accommodate the current and future needs of a range of users.

This project was for undertaking community consultation to inform the development of the master plan. The community assisted to develop the vision for use of the space to inform the future master plan.

The consultation was undertaken from mid-September to the end of November in various formats such as site visits, the NGSC website, social media, drop off boxes and a formalised reference group.

All age groups, participants, abilities, interest groups and individuals provided input for this important community space.
