Haig Park |
Haig Park is a heritage-listed urban green space located in Canberra.
Building upon the Haig Park Place Plan and the success of Haig Park Experiments, the City Renewal Authority continues to invest in the park's accessibility, amenity, and community.
Canberra is known for its large green spaces and parks. At the heart of the City Renewal Precinct, the heritage listed Haig Park will become a distinctive and welcoming destination for locals and visitors. It will offer a cultural and passive recreation experience.
The place plan process has set out a long-term vision for the park to improve on its existing features to make it more attractive to users while still retaining its heritage and biodiversity values for the community. Future initiatives undertaken within the park will therefore be consistent with these values.
Haig Park will be a showcase example for the design, delivery and maintenance of the public realm. High-quality public spaces will be provided, which are people friendly, give shelter to the elements, and improve safety. Physical elements of the public realm will be well designed, durable, and complementary to the park's existing character. Improvements to the pedestrian and cycle network will create strong linkages to surrounding areas, encouraging the use of active travel and physical activity. The park will provide for a range of uses, including temporary events and activities. This will enliven an important yet underutilised part of Canberra's green-space network. Targets for housing, population, employment have not been set for Haig Park given its role in the precinct. Instead, it will evolve in line with the principles and initiatives set out in the Haig Park Place Plan.
