District Parks Landscape Masterplans

District-Parks

Landscape masterplans for Ku-ring-gai’s district parks guide improvements and use over time, whilst considering the existing, natural and/or cultural heritage of a particular site.

Masterplans are prepared in consultation with the community - from the initial design through to the completed plan. Once the masterplans are adopted by Council and funds are allocated staged improvements to park amenities and infrastructure will commence. The primary source of funding for the proposed works is the Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010.  Typically, masterplans identify priorities for improvements over a 2-to-10-year period. 

To see what works have been delivered by Council go to the District park upgrade program page.

District parks

District parks are characterised by features that attract people from outside their immediate neighbourhood generally within a 2km walking distance of homes or further if travelling by car. Typical features include:

  • Facilities for active sports such as sportsgrounds, tennis/netball courts or other sports facilities.
  • A playground.
  • Facilities for informal activities such as picnics, barbeques or exercise.

There are seventeen district parks across the Ku-ring-gai Local Government Area: 

  1. St Ives Village Green

Program status

Completed masterplans

Future masterplans

  • This program has been completed.

Council recently resolved to end the district parks masterplan program and commence a new program with a focus on planning for recreation facilities within Council’s larger and more complex sporting and recreation spaces. 

The new program will prepare ‘recreation facilities plans’ rather than masterplans. Facility plans will provide high-level strategic guidance allowing plans to be prepared with greater efficiency and frequency.
