Project Overview

We are currently undertaking a review and renewal of the Speers Point Park Master Plan and Plan of Management. This process presents an important opportunity to shape the next phase of the park’s development, while ensuring alignment with evolving regulatory requirements.

Speers Point Park is a significant public open space that serves the local community, the broader Lake Macquarie regionand visitors from outside the area. It supports a wide variety of cultural, recreationaland sporting activities. The updated Master Plan and Plan of Management will provide a strategic framework to guide future improvements, ensuring the park continues to meet community needs and supports the diverse range of activities that make it such a valued destination.

FAQ

Speers Point Park is a 43-hectare regional park located in Speers Point, Lake Macquarie. It includes multiple sports complexes, a regional playspace, the Speers Point Swim Centre, MAP mima performance and exhibition space, a fenced dog park, boat ramp, jetty, cenotaph, and regional park area used by the local community to recreate and to host small to large scale events.

A plan of management is a strategic document that guides the use and management of community land. It outlines what the community values about the place, identifies its current and future uses and how it will be managed, maintained and improved. It is a legislative requirement under the Local Government Act 1993, and is developed in consultation with the community.

A masterplan is a design plan that visually represents the intent of the plan of management. It outlines the physical development and layout of the site and the areas for specific uses. It provides plans that identify development and use now and what is proposed in the future.

The existing Speers Point Park PoM and masterplan were developed in 2008. Since this time there has been significant development within the park and increase in use. With the community also changing over time, we need to develop new plans for the park to meet the needs, values and aspirations of the community today.
