Master Planning
Master Planning is a strategic process that develops an overall design and layout for an area. The process considers the current and future needs of the community to develop a concept plan that designs facilities, infrastructure and areas to best meet these identified needs. Council have endorsed a set of principles and a process that will be used in the master planning of leisure and recreation facilities.
The Master Planning Principles include:
A seven (7) step Master Planning Process has been designed to be applied to all future community sport, leisure and recreational infrastructure developments and upgrades within the City.
Stages one to four (1-4) of the process undertake needs analysis, concept design and feasibility analysis of a master planning project. Both Council and the community are engaged extensively through these stages of the process.
Stages five to seven (5-7) of the process undertake the funding, construction and operations of the master planning project. Council and the community will be kept up-to-date in the timelines of these developments as the projects progress. This website will feature regular updates once the City’s master planning projects have commenced.
The Master Planning Process timeline is available in the top right.
The City is currently undertaking two master planning projects: the Edgewater Quarry Master Plan and the Percy Doyle Reserve Master Plan.
