Council is planning for the future of Nelson Reserve. This is a chance to hear how people use the space, what they value about it, what could be improved and what should be considered as planning progresses.

The Concept Plan is a high-level plan for the wider reserve. It will help set a clearer direction for future improvements over time, rather than upgrades being delivered in a piecemeal way.

This process is about understanding what people value, what may need improvement and what should be considered over time. Any future changes would be subject to further planning, design, budget and approvals.

We want to hear how people use the reserve, what they value most, what is working well, what could be improved and what should be considered in the future.
