Blackheath Soldiers Memorial Park Master Plan

Update: Works to commence August 2021

Works on the new toilet block and fully accessible pathway at Soldiers Memorial Park are scheduled to start late August 2021 and will be complete by March 2022.

Council and the appointed contractor will keep disruptions to a minimum during the works, but some parking will be taken up by the contractor site shed, which will be located near the pond.

There will also be a truck entrance through the existing fence near the play equipment. Council will create a new pedestrian gate to keep park users away from construction equipment and trucks. Some material will be stockpiled inside the park (road base and soil) and full erosion controls will be in place at all times to protect the pond and creek down the hill.

The final designs for the new toilet block and accessible path are complete!

In keeping with the newly adopted Masterplan, these designs reflect the heritage of the park while delivering modern amenities to one of our four district parks. The main path from the ANZAC gates will be upgraded to Australian standards for accessibility, making it safe and easy to use for everyone.

This upgrade has been made possible thanks to funding from the *City Deal Liveability Program and construction is expected to commence in 2021.

*Stage one of this project will be funded under the Western Parkland City Liveability Program, which is part of the Western Sydney City Deal (WSCD). The WSCD is a 20 year-agreement between Australian and NSW governments, and the eight local Councils of the Western Parkland City.

The Masterplan has been adopted!

The Masterplan for the park was adopted by Council in August 2020 after extensive community consultation over the last two years. The local community has thorough knowledge of the park’s history and has given much time and effort to get this essential document right.
