FAQs

A Master Plan is a strategic planning document that establishes a long-term vision for a site. It identifies opportunities for future improvements and provides guidance for future investment, but it does not constitute detailed design or commit to immediate construction.

The Draft Burrill Lake Master Plan has considered a range of inputs, including:

• Council's 2015 Lions Park Master Plan.
• The Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan (CISP), including feedback submitted to Council has part of the development of draft CISP recommendations.
• Community feedback collected by the Ulladulla Milton Lions Club and project partners.
• The Community-Led Project application submitted to Council.
• Concept investigations undertaken by the project team and their design consultants.

Together, these inputs have helped identify opportunities to improve recreation, accessibility, community facilities, and landscape outcomes at Burrill Lake Lions Park.

This is a community-led project being progressed by the Ulladulla Milton Lions Club and project partners.

Shoalhaven City Council is supporting the project by providing design and community engagement services to prepare the Master Plan and seek community feedback. 

The project originated through a Community-Led Project application submitted by the Lions Club in 2025.

Burrill Lake Lions Park is a public community park managed by Shoalhaven City Council. The Draft Master Plan is being developed through a community-led project initiated by the Ulladulla Milton Lions Club and project partners, with support from Council.

A community-led project is a project on Council-owned or Council-managed land that is initiated and driven by a community group, rather than being planned and delivered entirely by Council. 

These projects can range from relatively simple improvements, such as park benches or shelters, through to more complex infrastructure like sporting clubhouses or community buildings.

No. 

The Draft Master Plan is being exhibited to seek community feedback before it is finalised. Community feedback will help identify priorities, areas of support and any concerns that may need to be addressed. 

The Master Plan may be amended following consultation before being considered by Council.

All feedback received during the exhibition period will be reviewed by Council and considered alongside technical advice, strategic planning priorities and funding considerations.

Feedback will help identify community priorities, areas of support, and any concerns that should be addressed before the Master Plan is finalised.

A summary of consultation outcomes will be prepared following the exhibition period.

Council has identified a need for an additional skatepark in the Southern Shoalhaven to improve access to youth recreation opportunities and meet future community demand.

There are currently two potential locations being considered for a new skatepark. The draft Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan (CISP) recommends a future skatepark be delivered at Mollymook Beach Destination Park, while the Burrill Lake Lions Park Community-Led Project proposes a skatepark at Lions Park, Burrill Lake.

As both proposals seek to address a similar recreational need, Council is seeking community feedback to better understand local preferences and priorities. The intent is to clearly understand whether the community supports a future skatepark at Burrill Lake Lions Park or Mollymook Beach Destination Park. 

This feedback will help inform future planning and investment decisions.

A regional skatepark is available at Ulladulla Sports Park. 

The proposed location of future skatepark investment is a key issue that extends beyond Burrill Lake Lions Park and may affect residents across the wider Milton Ulladulla area. 

A separate survey allows Council to gather more targeted feedback about skatepark needs and location preferences from skaters across the district.

Following the exhibition period, Council will review all feedback received and prepare a consultation summary. 

If significant changes are proposed or additional planning is required for specific projects identified in the Master Plan, there may be further opportunities for community consultation in the future. 

Information about any future engagement activities will be communicated through Council's Get Involved page

Community members can subscribe to the Get Involved page to receive updates about the project, future milestones and any opportunities to provide feedback.

No. The inclusion of a skatepark within the Draft Master Plan identifies it as a potential future improvement. 

Community feedback, strategic planning priorities, funding availability and future Council decisions will help determine whether a skatepark proceeds and where future investment is directed.

Improving accessibility is a key objective of the Draft Master Plan. Proposed improvements include upgraded pathways, improved connections between park facilities, and consideration of access for people of all ages and abilities. 

Specific accessibility measures will be further developed as individual projects progress through detailed design and planning stages.

Council will review all submissions and prepare a summary of feedback received.

The Draft Master Plan may be amended in response to community feedback before being finalised and referred to the elected Council for consideration. Once adopted, the Master Plan will be used to guide future planning and investment decisions for Lions Park.

Not necessarily. The Master Plan identifies a long-term vision for Burrill Lake Lions Park. Individual projects will need to undergo further planning, approvals and funding processes before they can be delivered. The timing and delivery of projects will depend on available resources and funding opportunities.

While the concept has been identified by the community, it is currently unfunded and would need to progress through detailed planning, approvals, community engagement and funding processes before it could be delivered.

Projects identified in the Master Plan will need to undergo further investigation, detailed design and approval processes before they can be delivered. 

Depending on the project, this may include environmental assessments, planning approvals, detailed design work and the securing of funding. The specific requirements will vary for each project and will be considered as proposals are developed.

The Draft Master Plan is a long-term planning document and does not commit Council to delivering any specific project.

The community-led project team intends to pursue funding from a range of sources, including:

• State and/or federal government grant funding.
• Community fundraising.
• Business sponsorships and partnerships.
• Donations and in-kind support.
• Support from community organisations and service clubs.

Projects identified within the Master Plan are subject to funding availability, approvals and further planning.
