Walker Park Strategic Plan

Background

The strategic plan will provide direction and support delivery of planning, development, and management of the Walker Park sporting complex in Yass.

Walker Park is recognised as a regional sporting complex and as such requires facilities to adhere to these requirements.This would involve significant improvements to cater for large visitor numbers. User groups in consultation with Council will look to improve the site to increase sporting participation and ability to host major events. The strategic plan outlines the proposed future development of the site to upgrade the facility to the standard of a regional facility.

The strategic plan seeks to:

• Provide quality sporting and recreational space for the community

• Provide a management approach that delineates and integrates activities within the site and surrounding recreational areas

• Provide a priority program for the development of the site

• Enhance the aesthetics for the natural environment of the Walker Park sporting complex
