Community Land Management Plans
Council is the custodian of a vast number of parks, reserves,
facilities and properties which play a vital role in supporting
Council’s goal of greening our city.
The Community Land Management Plans group community
land parcels into a hierarchy of categories based on similar
purposes, such as sporting reserves, biodiversity reserves,
drainage reserves and walkways. The plans detail how
Council will develop, manage and maintain the land held for
the Community’s use and enjoyment.
At its meeting on 18 January 2022, Council adopted the
Lochiel Park Lands Community Land Management Plan
following consultation with the Community. This is Crown
Land, which has been dedicated as parklands, and Council
is responsible for its ongoing care, control and management.
The Lochiel Park Lands Community Land Management Plan
operates in conjunction with Council’s primary Community
Land Management Plan which covers all other land that is
owned or under Council’s care, control or management and
has been classified as Community Land as defined by the
Local Government Act 1999.
