At Part One, Figure 17, Note A, delete the introductory paragraph and substitute the following: 

“A Parkland Recreation 

The following areas are to be generally available for public recreation and free public access: 

•	Commonwealth Park 
•	Kings Park 
•	Grevillea Park 
•	Bowen Park 
•	Lennox Gardens 
•	Weston Park 
•	Black Mountain Peninsula 
•	Yarralumla Beach 

For significant recreational events public access restrictions may be imposed in respect of limited parts of the above areas for limited periods and entry fees may be charged for access to those parts set aside for the event, including for the annual Floriade event in Commonwealth Park. In deciding specific proposals the Authority will require continuity of access to the beaches and shores of Lake Burley Griffin and will consider the need for access to other public facilities such as cycle paths, toilets, picnic shelters and children’s playgrounds.”
