Consultation has concluded.
The City has developed a draft Landscape Master Plan for Forster Park. The plan shows how the landscape and facilities within the park could be upgraded to create a much more vibrant and community orientated park.
The City recognises that Forster Park is an important asset and seeks to invest in improving the quality of the park to create a more attractive, vibrant and functional space. The draft master plan will facilitate the proposed upgrades in a structured, staged and coordinated manner.
