Why do we need a Plan of Management for Westleigh Park?
Council must prepare Plans of Management (PoM) for all land that is classified as ‘Community Land’ within its ownership, care, control and/or management. It governs the way 'Community Land’ is used and managed.
Westleigh Park was acquired by Hornsby Shire Council in 2016 from Sydney Water. The land is classified as community land in accordance with the Local Government Act (LG Act), 1993.
In line with the requirements of the LG Act, we prepared a PoM to establish an appropriate character and scale for the development and management for Westleigh Park. The PoM will enable the construction of new open space facilities at Westleigh Park and will help identify a program of development and ongoing maintenance works.
Community land within Westleigh Park is proposed to be categorised as:
- Sportsground
- Natural Area (Bushland)
- General Community Use
The PoM for Westleigh Park supports the delivery of the Master Plan. If you would to find out more about the draft Master Plan please visit the project page.
