Carss Bush Park and Todd Park Master Plan and Plan of Management
Background
Together with insight and feedback from our community, we are planning for the future of Carss Bush Park and Todd Park. We are updating the Master Plan and Plan of Management (PoM) for the subject area.
As part of the preliminary consultation, Council is seeking feedback from the community on how they currently use Carss Bush Park and Todd Park to help reach inclusive and community-driven decisions on the future of the space.
Prior to Council amalgamation in 2016, these Parks were managed by the former Kogarah Council. The new Master Plan and PoM will consolidate and update a series of older PoM documents into one Master Plan and PoM and in accordance with the legislative requirements of the Local Government Act, 1993 (LG Act) and Crown Land Management Act, 2016 (CLM Act).

What is a Plan of Management?
A Plan of Management is a report outlining how Council proposes to manage open space for the benefit of the community. The plan must identify:
- an appropriate community land category for the land;
- objectives and outcomes for management of the land;
- how Council proposes to achieve objectives and outcomes; and
- the way by which Council proposes to assess its performance.
Preliminary Consultation
Community feedback is essential in helping guide us in our decision-making process. Your feedback influences the choices we make when developing our plans and ensure we are on the right path to achieving and managing our community's overall vision.
Consultation occurred from 8 November to 8 December 2023, including a Community Drop-in session. Approximately, 190 submissions were received and about 40 community members attended the Drop-in session. The combined feedback is informing the preparation of the Draft Master Plan and Plan of Management for Carss Bush Park and Todd Park.
Further consultation will occur with the community at appropriate stages throughout this process. We will keep you informed.
