Under the Crown Land Management Act 2016 (CLM Act), Blue Mountains City Council (Council) has been appointed ‘Crown Land Manager’ to 145 crown reserves. The CLM Act authorises the Council to manage these Crown Reserves as if it were public land under the Local Government (LG) Act 1993.

Under the legislation, the Council was required to classify Crown Land as either Community Land or Operational Land (subject to Ministerial approval), similar to the Council owned land managed under the LG Act. The Council was then required to provide an initial categorisation for the Community land. A public hearing into the categorisation of the Council Community land and Crown Reserves was required. The classification and categorisation of the Crown Reserves appointed to the Council as CLM were endorsed at the Ordinary Meetings of Council on 28 May 2019 and 25 February 2020. The proposed categories for the Crown Land Reserves were subsequently submitted to Crown Lands for land-owners consent. Land-owners consent was received in June 2020 for the proposed categorisations.

The Glenbrook Park and Oval Plan of Management was previously exhibited in July 2022 and is now re-exhibited following amendments.

The draft Plans of Management documents have been developed in accordance with the CLM Act and the LG Act. They describe the current condition and use of the sites, permit appropriate activities and lease/licenses and describes how the site is being managed according to the objectives of each category.

This public exhibition period is opportunity for the community and interested parties to read the draft documents and supply comment via submission.
