1.5.2 Community and stakeholder engagement

A community and stakeholder engagement program was undertaken by Council in late 2018 to enable the community to collaboratively inform the detailed design of the Redevelopment of Concord Oval (ROCO) in preparation for the Development Application process. The Redevelopment of Concord Oval (ROCO) – Community Engagement Outcomes report (City of Canada Bay, 2019) outlines the results of the community engagement process undertaken in late 2018. Elements of the proposed ROCO, including a new indoor recreation centre, open spaces for passive recreation, community meeting and program rooms, and on-site parking received strong community support.

After advice from the Native Title Manager was received the Draft Plan of Management was approved by Council to be referred to the Department of Planning and Environment – NSW Crown Lands (DPE-NSWCL), with provisions required by DPE-NSWCL being included in the Draft PoM. The Minister’s consent will be required post exhibition prior to Council’s adoption of the PoM.
