Help shape the future of your park
Greater Sydney Parklands is the city-wide voice for Greater Sydney’s urban parks. We are looking to strengthen how we consult and engage with you and our city’s diverse communities.
The draft Framework sets out the way we will continue to communicate, engage and advocate for our iconic parklands as we work towards the 50 Year Vision for Greater Sydney's Open Space and Parklands for Sydney to become a 'city within a park'.
One way of strengthening Greater Sydney Parklands' engagement is through the creation of 5 new community trustee boards, which will be established for each park to provide a key advisory role and allow for an expanded level of local participation and consultation. Each board will have at least 7 members who provide local advice to Greater Sydney Parklands on a range of parkland matters, representing community diversity, views and interests.
The draft Framework and community trustee boards are being established under the Greater Sydney Parklands Act 2022.
