Thank you to all who contributed to the precinct planning for Gordon Falls Reserve. Your time and effort are appreciated. The Precinct Plan is better for the insight, experience and ideas provided by the community and stakeholders.

What happens next? The next step is to implement the Precinct Plan, which will happen in stages. Council has funding for some of the elements of the Plan and is yet to secure funding for other elements.

We are working on preparing detailed designs and documentation for the tender and construction of the following elements of the Precinct Plan and the Prince Henry Cilff Walk (east).

Gordon Falls Reserve

• New amenities building
• New northern car park and water sensitive drainage features
• New southern car park and water sensitive drainage features
• Upgrade of reserve including restoration of some existing furniture, installation of new furniture and signage
• Construction of new accessible path network

Prince Henry Cliff Walk

• Section of boardwalk across the landslip (around 60m)
• Upgrading of the track replacing timber steps and drains with sandstone
• Upgrading of some of the lookouts
• Construction of the 1^st section of the accessible track from Gordon Falls Reserve

We will progress this work as far as the budget will allow. As the program of works becomes clearer we will provide further updates.

Residents will be informed of proposed works well before construction commences. The works will be staged to maintain public access as far as possible. All efforts will be made to close only the parts of the Reserve and track that are under construction.
