Debate finally ends on King Edward Park function centre

BY IAN CROUCH

A function centre is no longer a possibility for vacant land at King Edward Park.

Councillors last night voted unanimously to change the planning process that ensures a function centre is no longer permissible on the site.

The park will instead remain a public recreation area.

Plans for a function centre were rejected in the Land and Environment Court two years ago because the site is intended for public recreation.

An aboriginal land claim is still in place, however the Awabakal Aboriginal Land Council says it hasn't made any plans to do anything with the site.
