Moree Plains Shire Council's draft Plan of Management for Community Land now on public exhibition

A draft plan of management for community land is now on public exhibition, following last Thursday's council meeting.

The draft plan outlines community land categorised as either natural area, park, sportsground, area of cultural significance, or general community use areas, and clarifies how council will manage, use or develop the land in the future.

It includes many of the council's open spaces and parks ensuring consistent management of such spaces, which supports a cohesive approach to meeting the diverse needs of the community.

Council's acting director of corporate services Andrew Probert said the public exhibition period is an opportunity for community members to provide written submissions regarding the proposed management or future development of community land outlined in the draft plan.

"Community land supports important aspects of community life and is valued and appreciated by residents, workers, and visitors to the shire of Moree Plains," he said.

"Community land may include a wide variety of properties, ranging from small recreation reserves to iconic parks, and in some instances buildings.

"Council considers it very important to obtain feedback regarding the plans for future management of community land to ensure the needs of our community are met."

The draft plan is available for download on council's website at www.mpsc.nsw.gov.au/hot-topics/submissions-and-public-notices. Alternatively, a hard copy of the Plan can be provided on request.

Feedback and comments are welcomed by 5pm on Friday, September 25 and can be submitted to The General Manager, Moree Plains Shire Council, PO Box 420, Moree NSW 2400. Comments can also be submitted via email to council@mpsc.nsw.gov.au.
