What our community shared

We recently sought community feedback on our plans for the new sports amenities building at Jamieson Park. Stage 2 consultation took place from 3 April to 12 May 2024, following our initial community engagement in 2022 (Stage 1) where we gathered ideas about what should be included in the building.

89% of people who gave feedback either fully supported the design or supported it with some suggested changes.

Many people (44% of responses) liked the overall design but had some suggestions to make it even better. They asked us to:

  • make sure we protect the park's natural beauty and open spaces
  • think carefully about whether a café is needed and how it might affect local shops
  • design the building to be environmentally friendly and able to handle floods
  • look at parking and traffic flow
  • improve the public facilities.

    What's next?

    The strong support from respondents in Stage 2 consultation highlights the importance of this facility to our community. Your feedback will help shape our design, support our development application, and aid our requests for funding.

    While we're excited about the project's potential, we've hit a temporary funding gap that means we need to pause our progress. We're actively working to secure additional funding to move forward. Once we have a clear funding solution, we'll:

  • return to the community for further input
  • work closely with local stakeholders
  • ensure we meet all planning requirements.


    • We remain committed to delivering this project and will keep you updated on our progress. Thank you for your continued support and patience.

    Engagement outcomes (Stage 1)

    We initially consulted with you between 16 August and 12 September 2022 about what you would like to see on the site and what the design should include so that it meets the needs of the community.

    We received a high level of interest in the project and heard a wide range of suggestions and ideas including:

    • increased boat and equipment storage
    • a multipurpose indoor space
    • balcony or veranda for lake views
    • separate amenities for sports clubs and the public
    • a kiosk or café with a kitchen
    • a home for the sailing club
    • facilities for water sports
    • improved access to the water from the building

    The feedback was used to form the basis of a list of preferred facilities / amenities to be included in the design brief for the design consultants to produce concept plans. These plans will be shared with the community in the next stage of consultation on the proposed design.

    The facilities or amenities to be included in the final design will be subject to further community consultation, stakeholder feedback, project funding availability, and planning, environmental and design constraints.
