Hills Showground park consultation
A new park in a growing neighbourhood
Landcom has obtained approval for a new urban neighbourhood park in the Hills Showground Station Precinct. The park will be close to the Hills Showground Station and is adjacent to Carrington Road.
The park will be delivered and constructed by Landcom, subject to The Hills Shire Council approving the development application.
The Hills Shire Council approved the concept design for the new open space in September 2022. Visit the NSW Planning Portal for information here.
Vision for the park
The park will be a ‘leafy shared backyard’ where the community can relax, exercise, play, be creative or meet with friends and family. We wanted to create spaces that appeal to all age groups and park users. The park will become an important local space in this new neighbourhood.
The concept design balances the needs of the current and future community. Such as thinking about the range of people who may want to use the park, for example, younger and older people, people from a range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds and people with specific access needs such as those with disabilities.
Community engagement
In August and October 2021 we held online consultations to help us develop the designs for the park.
Thank you to the many people who shared their thoughts about the park. Our online consultation page was viewed 2,065 times and we received 458 responses.
The community feedback received during the online consultation is outlined in the community engagement outcomes report, which was included in the development application package. We have also prepared a summary of how community feedback shaped the design.
