Concord community to have say on future of parklands corridor

City of Canada Bay Council is calling for community input to develop plans for the future direction and design of six major parks in Concord.  

The Concord Parklands Corridor is comprised of Edwards Park, Greenlees Park, Jessie Stewart Reserve, Rothwell Park, Queen Elizabeth Park and Goddard Park with the corridor boasting a wide range of recreational, and community uses.

“I look forward to gaining insight from the community about their experiences with the vibrant and unique green space that makes up the Concord Parklands Corridor, and hearing their ideas about how these spaces can be improved, managed and maintained in the future,” said Major, Angelo Tsirekas.

The six parks that make up the corridor include passive use green space, sportsgrounds, paths and walkways, playgrounds, a remnant turpentine forest and stormwater and floodplain infrastructure which will all be considered in the process of developing the proposed Masterplan and Plan of Management.

“The Concord Parklands Corridor plays a significant role in helping the City of Canada Bay community keep active, healthy and connected and the proposed Masterplan and Plan of Management will be vital to ensure these green spaces continue to provide these important benefits for as many community members as possible into the future,” Mayor Tsirekas said.

City of Canada Bay residents have been encouraged to share their current usage and improvement ideas for the future.
