Active Recreation Zone (A):

5.  Continue to encourage active sports recreation by providing a premier sports facility and associated support infrastructure.

6.  Encourage casual community use of the reserve, through enabling community uses of existing buildings, and by retaining easy access pathways, play spaces, parking and amenity open space.

Natural Zone (B):

7. Protect the natural remnant forest, riparian and wetland areas, promoting healthy ecological functioning through animal and plant pest control and natural regeneration.   Improve the wetlands as funding opportunities allow, including additional riparian planting where this would enhance erosion reduction, fish spawning habitat, and amenity values.   Ensure that land management does not introduce contaminants to the wetland values.

8. Monitor heritage amenity plantings including macrocarpa and retain until vegetation health dictates removal.

9. Actively monitor land subsidence below Astronomer Place.
