Project information
In 2007 Ku-ring-gai Council purchased three neighbouring properties on Dumaresq Street in Gordon to create a park as part of the long term plans for the Gordon Civic Hub Project.
Recently, the property at 9 Dumaresq Street was demolished and as a result of a Notice of Motion at the 21 November 2023 Council Meeting, plans are now underway to turn this vacant 1458 sq metre site into an open space for the local community.
Council has the opportunity to create a new public open space at 9 Dumaresq Street at a relatively low cost until longer term plans can be developed.
With simple low-cost additions Council plans to transform the site into a usable outdoor space. This will include:
- Remove most fencing, leaving the western boundary fence
- Earthworks to provide flatter grassed areas
- Adding new seating and bins
- Improve the entrance from Dumaresq Street
- Retain and protect all existing trees
- Remove planting along Dumaresq St and replant with low groundcover for better visibility
