How your feedback has been incorporated

After considering all feedback, the Plans have been updated with the following changes:

• Incorporate infrastructure at each site to support active transport access to sporting facilities;
• Provide additional seating around Picken Oval;
• Incorporate additional tree planting along pathways and to support broader amenity in the parks; and
• Include improved connection between the sports fields incorporated in the Croydon Park Sports Precinct Plan to be facilitated by upgrades to the pedestrian crossing point at Brighton Avenue.
