‘Think’ session
Saturday 12 October 2013Vision
What will the Park (and the Friends Group) be like in 10 years time (ie, by 2023)? Manager’s Office will be:
o functional, done up/restored and in good conditiono a focal point, a centre, a presence for the Park
o used: for storage, display, working bees
There will be seating around the former Office- Pine forest: will be partially cleared and replaced with eucalypts/native
- Broad acres: retain, clear weeds/ferals and include mosaic plantings
- Wildlife: there will be a wider diversity
- Creek: will be healthier
- Park: will be easy to manage: new plantings will be done in ways that make it easy to slashthe grass around and in amongst them
- Friends Group: will have grown its membership: new blood, new ideas, more funds; greater engagement
- Ensure: that the Vision does not exceed capacity to achieve and maintain it
