Georges River Council, in conjunction with Gondwana Consulting have prepared a Draft Plan of Management and Masterplan for Hurstville Oval and Timothy Reserve. The draft Plan of Management and Masterplan were on public exhibition from 22 January until 4 March 2020.

Under Section 40A of the Local Government Act 1993 Councils are required to hold a public hearing into the proposed categorisation or re-categorisation of Community and Crown land. The public hearing will be required in relation to both parcels of land that comprise Hurstville Oval and Timothy Reserve. Note the Independent Public Hearing is not the forum for discussion on other aspects of Draft Plan of Management.

The current and proposed categorisation of the land that comprises Hurstville Oval and Timothy Reserve is outlined in the table below.

A dual categorisation will apply to the Crown Land parcel (Lot 1 DP919317). All of Hurstville Oval and associated current and proposed build structures will be managed in accord with the core objectives of ‘Sportsground’, whilst remaining areas of the park will be managed in accord with the core objectives of ‘Park’.

The ‘Park’ category has been applied to the area of park and associated parkland facilities such as playgrounds, seating and amenities - the area categorised as ‘Park’ can be readily identified and is visually and functionally distinct from Hurstville Oval. Park areas and facilities will be maintained to a high standard and use of the areas will naturally continue to overlap with Hurstville Oval and the area categorised as Sportsground.
