Overview

CONSULTATION IS CLOSED

Council has updated the site-specific Plan of Management for Echo Point Park, Roseville Chase.

Echo Point Park is located on Babbage Road, East Roseville. It is a unique park with a combination of natural, scenic and cultural values - including water frontage to Middle Harbour, a beach, remnant bushland, mangroves and saltmarsh, and several Aboriginal sites. The park is currently used for a range of recreational activities, including picnics, walking, boating, and fishing.

Project background

Under the Local Government Act 1993 and the Crown Land Management Act 2016, Council is required to prepare a Plan of Management (PoM) to guide the management of any public land classified as ‘community land’.

The Echo Point Park PoM was last updated in 2003. You can read the 2003 version on Council's Plans of Management webpage, which is currently in effect.

An updated PoM for Echo Point Park has now been prepared. The updated PoM conforms to the template supplied by the Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure. It includes information on how the park will be managed and maintained.

Echo Point Park is managed under a 'site-specific' PoM rather than a 'generic' PoM. The PoM is site-specific because Council has declared that the land includes areas of cultural significance and significant natural features that require specific management.
