Samson Park Masterplan Survey

As part of the Masterplan visioning process, the City aims to learn more about Sir Frederick Samson Memorial Park by focusing on how members of the community use and engage with the area. Valuable insights gained through this consultation process will then be integrated into the draft Masterplan, which ultimately aims to improve park and bushland experiences whilst enhancing environmental stewardship and community involvement in the park. In addition to planned drainage, parking and accessibility works, the Samson Park picnic and play areas are also set for an upgrade, based on community wants and needs.

Please make sure you have reviewed the Frequently Asked Questions and Key Documents before submitting your comments.

Your thoughts and ideas during this design and visioning phase are crucial to help inform the Samson Park Masterplan. Thank you for taking the time to contribute feedback!

We are asking the public to:
