Thanks for having your say on creating a greener, safer, and more vibrant community space in National Park

We asked the community to help us enhance the northwest corner of National Park by providing feedback on the Draft Landscape and Park Improvement Plan.

Feedback closed for this project on 5pm 2 December 2024.

We are currently reviewing your feedback and will report back soon.

Background

National Park is one of our city’s largest and oldest sportsgrounds and open space reserves.

Currently, the building in the northwest corner of National Park, known as Wal Young house is being demolished, following the outcomes of a condition report.

A review of the building's condition was undertaken following an extended vacancy period and revealed extensive damage that would be costly to resolve and determined that the building was at the end of life. As a result, the area will be remediated which will deliver increased green space for the community to enjoy.
