A draft Master Plan has been prepared for Cris Fitzparick Park to make it safer, more accessible and attractive for the community.

The draft Master Plan has been prepared by Inspiring Place and incorporates the feedback from over 160 residents captured through a community survey and discussions with kids and parents at Bond Place towards the end of last year.

We would love your feedback.  Please use the following link to view the draft Master Plan documents and to submit a community feedback form.

• Double steel flying fox

• Pedestrian paths
• Informal nature play features, such as mounds and “boulder hop”
• Fencing
• Light fittings
• Picnic shelters
• Landscaping including expansion of existing orchard

Brighton Council is planning to introduce a FOGO service in 2021 and is seeking residents’ and ratepayers’ thoughts before proceeding.  We are very interested in your views.

To support a thriving community now and into the future, it is critical that we manage our waste efficiently and sustainably. Your input will help inform Council on how our waste is managed into the future.

The survey is open for you to complete from 9 to 30 March, 2021 using the following link: Community Survey – FOGO

The survey questionnaire will provide you with information on FOGO as you progress through the questions and the opportunity to record any questions you may have. This will help us shape the information we provide to you on FOGO throughout the year.

For those unable to lodge feedback online using the link provided, please email admin@brighton.tas.gov.au or phone (03) 6268 7000 to obtain a copy of the questionnaire.
