SEPT 2022 1. INTRODUCTION DRAFT INTRODUCTION
Place Design Group was engaged by the City of Canada Bay (Council) to develop a Masterplan for Majors Bay Reserve that incorporates sporting, active recreation and passive uses.
In order to maximise the sporting, recreation and ecological functions of the Reserve for the local and broader community, this Masterplan will provide Council with the design guidelines and objectives to direct future development of the Reserve.
• Integrate the park into its surrounding context
Majors Bay Reserve is approx. 16.42 hectares in size and is located within the suburb of Concord along the Parramatta River. It is situated by Majors Bay, which forms the Reserve’s north eastern boundary. As a result the Reserve has a key linkage to the Concord Foreshore Trail.
5 MAJORS BAY RESERVE PARK MASTERPLAN
PLACE DESIGN GROUP
• Improve the recreational and ecological functions of the park
e goals of this Masterplan are to:
• Guide Council over the coming years on how Majors Bay Reserve will be improved and renovated with new uses and infrastructure.
• Transform Majors Bay Reserve a local and regional destination and integrate the reserve to the wider foreshore access strategy (2020) and Majors Bay.

Social Infrastructure (Open Space AndSocial Infrastructure Space And Recreation) Strategy And Action PlanStrategy And Action Plan (Canada Bay City Council)Bay City
• e Canada Bay Community feels “safety for people with a disability to get around... (is a way) we can work towards maintaining and improving safety.”
• As part of the proposed objective to create three new swimming spots by 2025... All council areas within the Parramatta River catchment are to implement water sensitive urban design guidelines.
• With prospects of a population increase by 32,000 people by 2036, more residents will require a greater variety of spaces for recreation. Improving the quality and capacity of our existing open space and recreation facilities, and utilising what we have better, will help to meet additional demand.
• Canada Bay City have a priority need to increase diversity of recreational opportunities across the LGA, including walking/ cycling, outdoor fitness stations, youth spaces, and other informal recreation opportunities.

•Majors Bay Reserve is ranked ‘Very High’ in the order of priority for management action.
Report Review Summary:
Foreshore Access Strategy (Canada Bay City Council) 2020
•In order to increase the awareness of circuits and recreation opportunities a wayfinding strategy that defines a ‘foreshore brand’ is to be developed.
•A significant portion of this precinct already has publicly accessible foreshore. However, there are several ‘blockages’ in access.
Report Review Summary:
•Potential for revegetation and improved protection measures such as stopping mowing to edge of native vegetation to create a buffer to protect stands of vegetation from weed encroachment. Potential to improve tree corridor to connect Majors Bay and Golf Course to the south.
•Connecting these open spaces, such as Concord Golf Course and the former Concord RSL lands will make better use of under-utilised open space around community facilities and create a connected walking and cycling trail along the river foreshore.
Canada Bay Biodiversity Framework and Action Plan (Canada Bay City Council) 2019
Canada Bay have been identified as project opportunity clusters. New project works should aim to support work already undertaken within the corridor, establishing Parramatta River as a key active recreation link and regional open space corridor between the city and the west.

HISTORICAL EVOLUTION
For thousands of years prior to European settlement, the area was inhabited by the Wangal People. The Wangal people have a deep connection to the land and landscape of Canada Bay. The pre-European vegetation communities included mangroves + salt-marsh flats. Arthur Walker Reserve was vegetated by Open Eucalyptus forest on deep clay soils of Wianmatta Shale.
