In October 2017, we adopted a master plan for Norris Bank Reserve which outlines a number of objectives and actions that will see Norris Bank Reserve upgraded and improved going into the future.
Key objectives of the master plan:
- Create a regional open space for all ages and abilities
- Promote and facilitate social community use and events
- Encourage and support informal active recreation
- Protect and enhance the ecological and cultural landscape
- Establish a safe and well maintained reserve
