A Reserves Management Plan is prepared under the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977 and provides direction for the ongoing day to day management and potential development of Reserves

A Reserve Management Plan is put together in the following way:

• Council notifies the community of its intention to undertake preparation of a ward wide Reserve Management Plan and calls for suggestions from the community.
• Suggestions are received from the community and taken into account in the preparation of a draft Reserve Management Plan.
• A draft Reserve Management Plan is prepared and adopted by Council to be released for community consultation.
• Written submissions on the draft Reserve Management Plan are received from the community and a Hearing is convened for those wishing to present their submissions.
• Council meets to consider all submissions and adopts final Reserve Management Plan.
• Council implements Reserve Management Plan through day to day maintenance / management of reserves and their development.
• Reserve Management Plans are continuously monitored so that it can adapt to changing circumstances.
• Formal reviews are carried out every 5 years to ensure the plan remains current.
