Risdon Vale Recreation and Community Facilities Plan - Community Survey

Clarence City Council is currently developing a Recreation and Community Facilities Plan for Risdon Vale. The Plan will guide the management, planning and development of sport, recreation and community facilities in the area for the next 10 years and ensure the needs of the community are captured.

The Plan is focused on the key recreation and community facilities of; Risdon Vale Oval, skate park and BMX track, Community Hall and Neighbourhood Centre, numerous local parks and playgrounds, and community garden.

The Plan is a community document and will be developed in conjunction with ROSS Planning. As a community document, your input is critical to create an accurate snapshot of the community and as a basis for developing recommendations for the future.
