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

Between 4 November until 2 December 2024, we asked you to help us enhance the northwest corner of National Park by providing feedback on the Draft Landscape and Park Improvement Plan.

To find out what we heard, view our Engagement Summary.

We are currently considering how we can integrate your feedback into detailed design, before installing the new features mid-2025.

We will keep you updated as this project progresses.

Background

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

The building that was located in the northwest corner of National Park, known as Wal Young house has been 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.
