Bowman Park Management Plan Consultation
Port Pirie Regional Council has released a draft Bowman Park Management Plan for public consultation and encourages anyone with a connection to or interest in Bowman Park to have their say.
The Council has care control and management of the land upon which Bowman Park is situated. Consultation with the Crystal Brook Community Association and the Bowman Park Management Committee has culminated in a draft Management Plan to preserve this natural asset and explore future uses.
The Draft Management Plan has the following key themes:
- Environmental protection, interpretation and sustainability
- The protection and interpretation of historical and cultural assets
- Energised, active, healthy communities
- Support a vibrant tourism industry
- Enrich the lives of locals and visitors by enhancing opportunities for enjoyment of the park
The Plan considers sensitive commercial investment could enhance and diversify the offerings available from Bowman Park but recognizes the need to balance this with protecting the natural environment and preserving community use.
The draft Bowman Park Management Plan is now available to view on Council’s website at: www.pirie.sa.gov.au/noticeboard/consultation. Online submissions can be made using the Online Survey located at the above link.
