After many years of negotiation and consultation Mindarie Park has opened. In no small measure this is due to work your committee has put in pointing out the need for open space in the rapid developing Mowbray Precinct

 

The first stage of the park on the corner of Mindarie and Kullah Pde has been opened

It consists a Children’s Playground  and was opened on 23 February by our State Member Anthony Roberts

 

This new inclusive playspace aligns with the Everyone Can Play in NSW guidelines to cater for all people, including disabled and able-bodied children and their Carers.

Have Your Say On Your New Park
Council is currently consulting with the community on a new park at Pinaroo
Place/Kullah Parade and a new pocket park on Mowbray Road. 

A new park has been designed following approval from NSW Land and Housing Corporation to acquire six lots in Pinaroo Place and the proposed closure of the Pinaroo Place cul-de-sac. When combined with the existing park, this space will provide a 6,300 square metre recreation area. As part of the agreement, the existing park on Girraween Avenue will be transferred to the NSW Land and Housing Corporation.

The community is being encouraged to provide feedback on the following areas:-

  • Pinaroo park design (a concept landscape Master Plan is
    available on the website);
  • Suggestions for the name of the new Pinaroo park; and
  • Proposed design of the new pocket park at 552 Mowbray Road.To find out more you can view all relevant background documents by visiting our online exhibition.  These documents are also available for viewing at the Lane Cove Civic Centre (48 Longueville Road, Lane Cove), Lane Cove Library (Library Walk, Lane Cove) and Greenwich Library (48 Greenwich Road, Lane Cove).

    To have your say on your new park, please make a submission to the General Manager quoting ‘Our New Park’– SU6839’ by:-

  • Post: PO Box 20, Lane Cove 1595;
  • Fax: 9911 3600; or
  • Email

Submissions will be received by Council until Friday 27 October 2017

For further assistance please contact Council’s Landscape Architect on 9911 3563.

If you would like to be kept informed about the progress of this proposal following the consultation period, please submit your email address.
