  This proposal marks the first step in bringing the Allen Park Master Plan to life, endorsed by Council in December 2017.

  The Allen Park Master Plan, available to view here, identifies the land tenure for 8 Sayer Street, (Lot 353). "The Walkway" is of high community concern to be resolved and be retained as remnant bushland and connection walkway.

  "The community acknowledge that they are passionate about the Allen Park Precinct and the community they live and recreate in, and will fight for what they believe is important to retaining the social fabric of their community. The issues of land tenure over a number of blocks and reserves continues be of huge concern.

  It is recommended that Council aim to resolve the outstanding land tenure issues within the Allen Park Precinct that continue to be of high community concern, in particular Lots 139 and 353 (“the walkway”). These 2 lots provide a valuable link and connection point within the precinct, and should if possible be retained as remnant bushland and connection walkway. In particular, the walkway provides the link for people that are aged or infirmed to access the precinct from residential areas to the north and north-east. The only alternative routes are either through melon hill or via the street footpath network which would increase distance to travel."
