A Master Plan is a long-term planning document that shows the vision for how Carss Bush Park and Todd Park will develop in the future. The Master Plan includes:

• Plans for walking paths and better connections throughout the parks
• Proposed playground upgrades
• Improvements to sports facilities and recreation areas
• Landscape design and environmental protection
• A staged plan for making improvements over time

A Plan of Management sets how Council will manage, use, and maintain Community Land owned by Council or Crown and managed by Council. The Plan of Management includes:

• Land classifications under community land rules
• Goals and targets for managing the parks
• Guidelines for permitted activities and uses
• Rules for leases, licenses, and permits on the land
• Strategies for protecting environmental, cultural, and recreational values

The new Master Plan and Plan of Management replace several older Plan of Management documents:

• Carss Bush Park & Todd Park Plan of Management 2004 - Kogarah Council,
• Carss Park Bowling Club Surrounding Parkland PoM Review 2008 – Landscape Australia Consultants,
• Carss Bush Park Landscape Master Plan 2011 - Knox & Partners Landscape Architects

The two plans work together: the Plan of Management explains how the spaces are used and managed, while the Master Plan shows the vision and future improvements that will make these parks even better for the community.

The Carss Bush Park and Todd Park Master Plan and Plan of Management is a separate project from the ongoing Carss Park Pool redevelopment. The NSW Office of Sport is leading this project and more information is available at the NSW Office of Sport website: Carss Park Pool | NSW Government
