The Recreation Ground Reserve is public land "dedicated to the public for all time" according to Council solicitor's advice, and should be retained as Public Open Space; redeveloped as Midland's Central Park.
No work should be carried out to the detriment of the place. The Oval land and the Velodrome are both important heritage places and should both be the minimal retained elements or areas of the Central park.
There should be no work commenced until the place has a proper plan in place with a viable business plan and community support.
The public asset should not be disposed of, as it provides the only major parkland in Central Midland, and at 2.7Ha only gives Central Midland (77Ha) less than 4% of Green POS.
