This page provides an overview of the community consultation and research that informed the development of the Lagoon Reserve Park Plan. It includes a summary of what park users liked about the space and suggested improvements.


To help prepare the plan we used:

  • Community consultation
  • Analysis of the site, surrounding land uses and population trends
  • Research on the history of the site and the adjacent public open space.

Community engagement activities undertaken in 2012 and 2013 included:

  • Local community and key stakeholder reference committees
  • On-site Community Ideas Forums
  • An on-line survey and forum
  • A resident and park users survey.

What park users liked

  • The location of the reserve close to home (most reserve users walk less than 10 minutes to the reserve)
  • Pet friendliness
  • Greenery and landscaping
  • Open space
  • Community atmosphere
  • Ambience of the reserve.

Improvements

Park users told us there could be improvements to:

  • Amenities (including toilets, pavilion, seats, barbeque, picnic tables and drinking fountains)
  • Sports field upgrade
  • Install training lights
  • Increased shade
  • Greenery and landscaping
  • Address issues with pets
