Community input into the design

Community consultation identified a desire for Bank Street Park to be a place of recreation that provides open space, play spaces and areas for respite, with a naturalistic form and character. In the first time in over a century, community will be reconnected with the water in this location. 

Through consultation, the community identified a vision for Bank Street Park: 

• A welcoming and accessible park that caters to different users and activities 

• Quality amenities to support park users 

• Consideration of the needs of boating users and water sports 

• Connection to the water and enhanced views 

• A distinct identity for the park 

• Connection to Country and First Nations. 

Community consultation occurred over three key phases: 

• Phase 1: Creating a design brief (Visioning phase) 

• Phase 2: Consultation on three design concepts (Verifying phase) 

• Phase 3: Public exhibition of the Environmental Impact Statement.
