Oonoonba Park Masterplan - Community Feedback

Community consultation is being undertaken to ensure future improvement to Oonoonba Park achieve the right balance between:

Sporting facilities
Open space and park access
Community use and neighbourhood amenity

Your feedback will help Council understand how the park is currently used and identify opportunities to better meet community needs. If endorsed, the masterplan will guide future planning and support applications for state and federal funding, with upgrades delivered in stages as funding becomes available.
