George Park Master Plan

A revised George Park Master Plan has been prepared as a result of the desire from sporting stakeholders for Council to set a clear direction to future needs at George Park for the growth and development of sport. This has been considered a 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.
