Community proposals

Many community organisations or groups rely on the use of public land to conduct activities. If you, your club, or group has an idea for a project, we want to hear about it.

Talk to us

Start by talking to us about what you have in mind. This discussion is an opportunity to refine ideas and identify any potential barriers prior to gathering information.

If you would like to discuss your proposal, speak to Council's Recreation Services Divisional Manager.

Submit your proposal

Once you've spoken to us the next step is to submit your proposal using the online form. The more information you provide, the more efficiently we can assess your proposal. We will assess your proposal and let you know the outcome, if we need more information we will let you know.

When submitting a proposal, make sure you allow plenty of lead time. We set our work schedules and budgets 12 months in advance and assessments can take several weeks.
