RECOMMENDATION IMPLICATIONS<br />

Environmental, Social: Nil<br />

Policy or Statutory: This project is not considered as a priority for <strong>Council</strong> and is<br />

<strong>the</strong>refore not listed in <strong>Council</strong>‟s Operating plan. Any future works resulting from <strong>the</strong><br />

plan should be listed on <strong>Council</strong>‟s unfunded projects lists for future consideration<br />

against all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r priorities <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>.<br />

Economic (Financial): The cost associated with development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> plan has been<br />

funded by <strong>the</strong> Kempsey Family Support Services [KFSS] under <strong>the</strong> grant funding<br />

received for <strong>the</strong> Macleay Valley Communities for Children Plus Program. This<br />

funding focused upon development <strong>of</strong> an interactive play area within Service Clubs<br />

Park. The project has resulted in <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> an overall Masterplan for<br />

future development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> park which can be adopted by <strong>Council</strong>. There is also a<br />

Concept Design Plan for <strong>the</strong> play area. It is unclear how much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> plan can be<br />

implemented by KFSS with <strong>the</strong> funding remaining under <strong>the</strong> grant.<br />
