Mullum Mullum Reserve Management Plan 2014 Manningham Council Page 3 Part A - Executive Summary Publicly owned open space and reserves improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live and work. Manningham City Council prepares Management Plans for complex recreation areas that accommodate a range of facilities and services and/or open space areas with a range of uses and purposes, including informal recreation and landscape values. Such areas are important community assets and due to competing priorities for development, it is crucial to plan and prioritise the use, development and management of these areas. The Mullum Mullum Reserve is currently used formally by clubs, schools and residents for various recreational pursuits including hockey, bowls and tennis. The Reserve is also used casually by local residents for less formal recreational activities, such as jogging, walking and dog walking. The Reserve has a large 1.3 hectare leveled grass area to the south that has been reserved for future recreation development. In July 2013, Council endorsed the Highball Infrastructure Plan that proposes the development of a 5-7 court multi-use highball facility at Mullum Mullum Reserve. With the additional facilities on site, Mullum Mullum Reserve will become a central sporting hub in the municipality. The Management Plan includes three visionary goals for the Reserve under which a series of objectives and actions outline Council’s commitment to: providing high quality recreation facilities that respond to community demand, respect for the natural environment and maintained effectively in to the future. The goals and objectives are set out in Figure 1.

Introduction 1.1 Purpose Manningham City Council prepares Management Plans for regional and district reserves that accommodate a range of facilities and services and/or open space areas with a range of uses and purposes. Such areas are important community assets and due to competing priorities and limited funding for development, it is crucial to plan and prioritise their use, development and management. The purpose of the Management Plan is: • To document and protect the key values of Mullum Mullum Reserve by providing a framework for future planning • To establish short, medium and long term goals, objectives and actions for the future development of the reserve • To develop an overall plan (masterplan) that documents improvements over a 10 year period • To provide a guide for the management of the recreation facilities The endorsed Mullum Mullum Reserve Management Plan will be used by Council Officers
