Brookvale Park Stage 2 - Master planning
Update me
Last year Council undertook extensive community consultation about the future of Brookvale Park. To meet community expectations, Council resolved to investigate possible funding sources so that the Oval can be maintained as a professional sporting facility.
This Brookvale Park project page will be maintained regularly as the project progresses and will support the community consultation process. It will enable you to stay informed during the project and to provide feedback to Council during the exhibition period.
Please read the News Articles below for updates. More information is detailed in the Library, Frequently Asked Questions and the Online forum page.
If you have any other queries you can email the project team at brookvalepark@straight-talk.com.au.

Project Update Nov 2011 - Public Exhibition - Securing Brookvale's Future
Warringah Council is exhibiting options for Brookvale Park. For more information -please read the booklet , view the display boards and have your say.
Extensive consultation over 2010 and 2011 found that the community wants Brookvale to be a professional sporting venue, the home of the Sea Eagles and a community park but that any work should not be funded by rate payers.
The project team, led by award-winning design team, McGregor Coxall, tested whether developing a portion of the site could generate enough funds to enable those wishes to be fulfilled. (Please refer to the Feasibility Massing and Envelope Study ). However, the research found that development, alone, will not generate enough funds to ensure that Brookvale Oval can be renewed into the future.
The exhibition contains drawings of several options for the possible design of new facilities at Brookvale – along with the associated costs such a construction and renewal.
The funding options include a rate rise, a mix of development and state or federal government grant as well as putting the Oval into a State Trust.
If Council does nothing Brookvale Oval facilities will fall into disrepair – possibly resulting in the Sea Eagles relocating to another venue.

First Look at the New Vision for Brookvale Park - Media Release
Internationally renowned design team, McGregor Coxall, has drawn up two initial options for turning Brookvale Oval and Park into a world-class sporting venue and urban village.
The designs are based on nearly a years' worth of community consultation and outline how the park could be developed to provide the funds needed to upgrade and maintain the aging facility. "These designs have it all", said Warringah Mayor, Michael Regan. "They keep the trees and parkland that locals love and, best of all, extend our much-loved hill around the oval."
