Update on the Osborne Park Master Plan

At the Community Focus Council Meeting Held At Whittington on Tuesday, 13 August 2019, and following public question and submission time, the Osborne Park Master Plan, as created by the appointed consultants, Hansen Partnerships, was presented to Council.

It was rejected as it did not meet the intent or requirements of the Council motion of 24 July 2018.

As a result, Cr Harwood moved, Cr Mansfield seconded – “That Council officers report back to Council by October 2019 with an approach to rescoping the Master Plan in line with the discussion at this evening’s Council Meeting; and Consider the inclusion of a Heritage Interpretation Plan.”

The motion was Carried.
