Our vision for Oxley Creek
Oxley Creek will be transformed into a world-class green, lifestyle and leisure destination, befitting our New World City.
The Master Plan
The Oxley Creek Transformation Master Plan, developed in consultation with key stakeholder groups and the local community, translates our ambition to create a world-class green, lifestyle and leisure destination. Recognising the environment as central to our city’s liveability, it outlines strategies and priority projects to enhance and rehabilitate our most urbanised waterway.
Community engagement history
Community engagement played a vital role in shaping the Oxley Creek Transformation Master Plan, ensuring the vision reflects the needs, values and aspirations of local residents and stakeholders.
The draft Master Plan was publicly released in April 2018 and was followed by a four‐week community engagement program, including a range of face‐to‐face and online engagement activities. The draft Master Plan received strong public support, with 89% of survey respondents expressing agreement with the plan the transformation of the corridor into a vibrant green, lifestyle and leisure destination.
Feedback was considered and incorporated into the final Master Plan, including improved accessibility, clearer mapping, enhanced recreation opportunities, and greater consideration of environmental and flooding impacts. The Master Plan now reflects a more inclusive, environmentally sensitive and community-informed vision for the future of Oxley Creek.
