The Gully Aboriginal Place Draft Plan of Management proposes amending the existing land categories from Community land to Natural Area - bushland to reflect changes to vegetation mapping and from Sportsground to Natural Area – bushland; Natural Area – wetland; and Natural Area – watercourse (at the previous racetrack location).

The Draft Plan of Management also includes three parcels of Crown Land that are part of the Katoomba Falls Reserve.

The Public Hearing is required under the Crowns Land Management Act 2016 and will be conducted by an independent planning consultant.
