Community Invited to Shape Future of Commonwealth Park

The National Capital Authority (NCA) is inviting the Australian community to shape the future of Commonwealth Park after releasing a new concept vision for its revitalisation.

Commonwealth Park Concept Vision 2025 sets out the NCA’s early thinking on options and opportunities for the renewal of Commonwealth Park over the coming decades.

The concept vision seeks to preserve the integrity and current uses of Commonwealth Park, while looking at ways it can evolve over time to meet the future needs of the community.

‘The NCA is committed to reflecting Dame Sylvia Crowe’s original master plan and Commonwealth Park’s importance today as a home for major events and a much-loved public resource, while exploring opportunities for the park to respond to the future needs of the National Capital,’ National Capital Authority Chief Executive Ms Karen Doran PSM said.

‘The NCA invites Australians to have their say on the options and opportunities in the concept vision, as well as other suggestions not covered in our early thinking.

‘Commonwealth Park Concept Vision 2025 is the start of an ongoing discussion with the community that will inform the NCA’s work on the future of Commonwealth Park as it progresses.

‘Delivery will occur over many years, reflecting the priorities of government and the community, with each stage subject to further detailed planning and design, engagement and consultation,’ 
Ms Doran said.

Learn more about Commonwealth Park Concept Vision 2025 by visiting the NCA website, attending a community information session or pop-up in Commonwealth Park.

Submissions can be made online (www.nca.gov.au/yourcapitalyoursay/commonwealthpark) or by email or by mail by close of business Friday 20 June 2025.
