Consultation has concluded

At its Ordinary Meeting held 15 August 2018, a report was presented to Council for the adoption of the George Park Sport Precinct Master Plan. At that meeting, Council resolved to place the Draft Master Plan proposal for the ongoing development of George Park on public exhibition for 28 days and that a further report be presented to Council after the exhibition period. To date Council has not adopted any Master Plan for George Park.

In March 2021, Council recommenced discussions with the various sporting user groups in order to assess the future needs for the development of George Park. These discussions addressed a range of issues including increased field usage and demand, field quality and performance issues and to determine various works and upgrades considered necessary for the development of George Park.

The revised George Park Master Plan has now been prepared as a result of the desire from sporting stakeholders for Council to set a clear direction in relation to future needs at George Park for the growth and development of sport. This has been considered an urgent priority as it will enable sporting groups to plan for their future at George Park and be able to plan on infrastructure projects and upgrades that have the support and approval of Council.

Council is seeking community feedback on the Concept Design which is now available for public comment.

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    George Park is the designated Australian Rules Football Precinct in the Bathurst Region, with two main ovals that are also utilised on a multipurpose basis for a variety of other sporting and recreational activities.

    Council has undertaken various improvements to the George Park Precinct over recent years including a new amenity building, a cricket wicket upgrade, new practice nets and removal of the old AFL club rooms and cricket practice nets. These works were completed at a cost of approximately $1M.

    With the continuing growth of sport within Bathurst and the high level of usage demand being placed on all sports facilities, further significant major upgrades and improvements will need to be considered within the near future at George Park in order to support the ongoing demands and future usage requirements from the various users at this facility.

    The Draft George Park Multipurpose Sports Precinct Master Plan displays the proposed future layout and direction of the George Park Sports Precinct.

    The plan highlights the inclusions and additions that is believed necessary to support the future increased demands for George Park users and Bathurst as a whole.
