Update - April 2024

The Georges River Community Infrastructure Needs Assessment and Acquisition Area Strategy 2024 was adopted at the April Council meeting. All actions recommended in the technical report are subject to further detailed investigation by Council officers, allocation of future budget and subsequent Council approval.

430 submissions received were opposed to the Strategy’s recommendations for Council to explore partial reclamation of golf courses as one of the avenues to contribute to the shortfall for active open space. Council wishes to acknowledge that it has no short- or long-term plans to explore partial reclamation of golf courses to increase open space.

The Community Infrastructure Needs Assessment and Acquisition Area Strategy has been placed on the Georges River Council Website on the Council Plans and Strategies page.

Background

The purpose of this Strategy is to provide strategic guidance around open space and community facility provision with a focus on the identification of gaps in provision at a local government area (LGA) level and local area that should be a focus for future provision.
