In accordance with Section 36 of the Local Government Act 1993, a Plan of Management is requirement for all Community Land.
Gregson Park is community land and managed under the Heritage Places Plan of Management (Heritage PoM). The Heritage PoM provides clear guidelines for the future management and direction of land in the care and control of Council.
The Local Government Act 1993 requires all community land to be categorised as either park, sportsground, general community use, natural area or area of cultural significance. Uses and leases on community land are to be in alignment with the categorisation of the land and are to be expressly authorised within a plan of management.
As the draft Masterplan proposes change to the use of different spaces within the park, it is timely to amend the Heritage PoM in line with the masterplan.
