Creating a long term vision to conserve and manage Hazelwood Park
Hazelwood Park will be an accessible place for everyone; its existing recreation, environmental, habitat and amenity qualities will be carefully maintained and enhanced. It will connect with the community where recreation supports healthy living and community well-being. It is a place that will be well-loved into the future.
Why do we need a plan?
The City of Burnside has a responsibility to conserve and maintain this State Heritage listed park now and into the future. The draft Hazelwood Park Conservation Management Plan (HPCMP) is a guide for how this conservation and maintenance will be undertaken.
The draft HPCMP gives an overview of all aspects of the park and includes:
• a park overview - what is in the park now.
• a record of the history of the park - the importance of
the park to the community and the background on how
State Heritage listing was applied.
• a plan for the future - what elements of the park are
important to be retained and maintained for decades to
come.
• a detailed description of the layers of the park - the
trees, the creek environment, recreation spaces,
ecology and habitat, lighting, car parking, buildings
and the surrounding streets.
This draft plan will enable Council to define and develop vegetation management plans; write technical guidelines to manage and preserve the elements of the park for the future; undertake detailed tree value and risk assessments; and, identify opportunities to enhance and preserve existing park elements and plan for future use.
Why are you contacting me?
Extensive community consultation has been undertaken over the past six months including, a city wide survey of Burnside residents, an open day at the park, and a second survey to further explore ideas and community opinions. From this feedback a draft HPCMP has been developed.
Council is now asking you to provide feedback on the draft Hazelwood Park Conservation Management Plan that aims to incorporate community aspirations for the park, and to enhance the natural ambience and character of the park.
This is an additional opportunity for input into refining the conservation and rejuvenation ideas outlined within the draft plan.
