General Manager, Kathryn Larkin highlighted the extensive preparatory work undertaken to progress the project into concept and detailed design.
"This milestone follows extensive planning and investigation, including site due diligence studies, stakeholder consultation, quantity surveying, analysis of the project budget and operational implications, and identification of potential synergies between each of the project elements and services."
Mrs Larkin thanked the Hunter Park Precinct Stakeholder Group and user groups for their ongoing input and contributions, which have helped inform key focus areas of the Masterplan.
"We've received valuable feedback from the Stakeholder Group and user groups of the GRC. Their knowledge of current facility uses, including participation numbers, ideas and suggestions have helped inform the planning process, and I thank everyone who has taken the time to contribute," said Mrs Larkin.

We look forward to continuing engagement as the project progresses, keeping residents informed, connected and up to date will remain an important part of the process," said Mrs Larkin.
