Have Your Say! On the Draft Green Space Strategy

Gilgandra Shire Council has developed the Draft Green Space Strategy as part of our Towards 5000 vision, to ensure Gilgandra's parks, sportsfields and civic areas meet community needs now and into the future.

The green spaces of Gilgandra Shire Council are very important to residents, not only for their enjoyment but for how the Shire is presented to visitors. For the purposes of this strategy, green spaces refers to parks, sports fields, key walking connections, cemeteries and civic spaces such as the CBD plazas.

The majority of these green spaces are managed by Council, however it is important to note the significant role played by volunteers in the upkeep of green spaces like the Michael Noonan Memorial Park & War Memorial and the community garden at the Cooee Visitors Rest Area & Memorial Park. 

Council has engaged the consultant team of Better Cities Group to design the Strategy. The Draft Strategy has been developed following community consultation to help develop a blueprint for the future. Thank you to everyone who attended the Green Space Summit and/or provided experiences, opinions and ideas.

The Gilgandra Green Space Strategy objectives:

  • Provide clear direction to Council on current and future public green space requirements to service our community and visitors to our region
