Consultation regarding the draft landscape concept design for Montgomery Park has now closed. Thank you to all those who had their say.

January 2026 Update

As noted in the News feed on this page, Council has reviewed community feedback about the draft landscape concept design for Montgomery Park and has finalised the design.

The final concept design, full design report and consultation report can be accessed via this page.

The construction of this project will be subject to the availability of project funding via the Council Budget process. The draft Four Year Capital Works Program 2026/27–2026/30 is currently on public exhibition from 2 February to 2 March 2026. More information about that process is available here. We’ll continue to keep this page updated if there are any future changes to the status of this project.

Background

The Montgomery Park Master Plan was adopted by Council on 29 January 2019 to guide the design and possible future development of the park for the next 15 years. Since the plan was adopted, further technical investigations and onsite developments resulted in some changes to the proposed landscape upgrades for the park.

A key change was the construction of a new kindergarten in a different location to that shown in the master plan. This has altered the future layout of some elements in the park. Other changes include the installation of a temporary pump track, the proposed removal of the cricket nets and further viability analysis of the stormwater harvesting and treatment system.

Proposed improvements

Proposed improvements within the draft landscape concept design included:

• Upgraded play space, including inclusive and nature-based play
• Picnic facilities and seating options
• A multi court and hit up wall with an integrated bouldering wall
• A permanent pump track and exercise equipment
• A multi-use platform/ stage
• New garden beds, additional planting and improved natural shade
• New and upgraded path connections

You can view the draft landscape concept design here and individual design elements below.

Community consultation

In May 2025, following prior consultations about the master plan development, future pump track location and construction of the new kindergarten, Council consulted with community about the kindergarten landscaping design. In July 2025, Council invited feedback from community about the draft landscape concept design for Montgomery Park, as the next step towards implementation of the Master Plan. Community feedback was sought on:

• Overall level of support for the concept design
• Favourite improvements for the park
• General feedback about the proposed design

Findings from this consultation are summarised in the consultation report in the document library and linked here.
