The design focuses on the following principles:
- Bring the ‘heart’ back into the park by enhancing its citywide appeal
- Provide a pedestrian-friendly and vibrant civic space
- Reclaim green open space by improving parking and road efficiency within and around the park
- Provide more recreational opportunities for the community and tourists
- Create a playspace that reflects the importance of Maitland Park to the community by upgrading the existing playspace
Public exhibition of the draft Maitland Park Master Plan is now closed. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey or made a formal submission. We're now reviewing your feedback to develop a final draft of the Maitland Park Master Plan. Make sure to 'follow' this project to be notified of future updates.
