Plans of Management (POM) categorise land, authorise leases or licenses and determine what development can take place. The key values of the land and its purpose are identified so they can be protected and enhanced. Council ensures public consultation happens for plans of management before they are adopted.
36-48 Kingsway Plan of Management
Allenby Park Plan of Management
Allenby Park forms an outstanding natural setting of remnant bushland located adjacent to Beacon Hill and Allambie Heights. The reserve is characterised by steep valley slopes cut with two major creek lines. The Park has an irregular configuration with an extensive boundary surrounded by residential development on the higher plateaus and industrial development in the lower valley area.
Significant features within the Park include remnant Coachwood rainforest, waterfalls and creeks. The Park provides a unique opportunity to enjoy magnificent bushland scenery in only a short stroll from heavily developed industrial areas, providing a distinct contrast not evident elsewhere in Warringah.
Dogs must be on a leash at all times in this reserve and cats are not allowed here at any time.

Berry Reserve and Adjoining Foreshores Plan of Management
Berry Reserve and adjoining foreshores are an integral component of Narrabeen's open space network. The combined reserve area forms a lineal corridor of public foreshore open space along Narrabeen Lagoon from the Esplanade in the south to Loftus Street in the north. The Plan of Management provides management direction for Community, Crown and Department of Urban Affairs and Planning land parcels that constitute the reserve. The lake-side setting provides opportunities for a diverse range of recreational activities and experiences. In addition to the park area, the Plan of Management incorporates a broad range of community buildings and facilities, including the historic Tram Terminus building.
The Reserve links with Jamieson Park to the south to provide a contiguous open space area along much of the southern and eastern shore of Narrabeen Lake.

Brookvale Park Plan of Management
Brookvale Park is a significant recreational facility which plays an important role in both the local and national sporting environment, as well as providing much needed neighbourhood park areas. The land is bounded by Pittwater Road, Alfred Road, Federal Parade and Pine Street.
Brookvale Park was officially opened in 1911 and was home to the Brookvale Show for over fifty years. The Park has been the home ground for the Manly Warringah Rugby Leagues Club since 1947 and is now a major sporting and event facility within Warringah. Passive recreational opportunities are provided within the neighbourhood park areas which also include a regional playground and cricket nets.

Coastal Lands Plan of Management
The Coastal Lands Plan of Management covers all public open space located on or adjacent to Warringah's coastline, with the exception of Dee Why Lagoon and environs and Griffith Park, which is the subject of two separate Specific area Plans of Management (see the Dee Why Wildlife Refuge Plan of Management and the Griffith Park Plan of Management). The Plan is designed to provide the overall framework for coastal management and should be used in conjunction with other key documents that provide management guidance for the coast.
This Plan should be read in conjunction with the Recreation Strategy for Warringah's Beaches and Coastal Open Space (RSWBCOS), a planning document that sets the overall management direction for all recreational open space along the Warringah Coastline. The diagram below illustrates Council's planning framework for Warringah's coastline.

Dee Why Lagoon Wildlife Refuge Plan of Management
Dee Why Lagoon Wildlife Refuge is located just behind Dee Why Beach and covers an area of approximately 77ha. The Plan consists mostly of the wildlife refuge, however it also covers James Meehan Reserve and the Dee Why Surf Life Saving Club.
The natural environment of the refuge is highly valued by the community and is protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Act and the Threatened Species Conservation Act. The close proximity of the refuge and James Meehan Reserve to a largely populated area also makes it a highly valued recreational area.

Council adopted the Dee Why Valley and South Creek Open Space Corridor Plan of Management on June 24, 2008. The plan of management was developed through extensive community consultation and incorporates submissions from the exhibition of the Issues and Options Paper in June 2007.
The plan provides the framework for managing the Dee Why Valley and South Creek Open Space Corridor and covers the 13 reserves which stretch along South Creek from Beacon Hill to Narrabeen Lagoon and along Dee Why Creek in Cromer to Dee Why Park.
The reserves within this plan are Cromer Park, St Matthews Farm, Dumic Place, Birinta Reserve, Lidwina Reserve, Towradgi Reserve, McIntosh Reserve, Dee Why Park, South Creek Reserve, South Creek Foreshore, Tyagarah Reserve and the Multi use Access Path.
The plan’s actions and directions focus on protecting the identified community values of this area. These reserves are highly valued for the environmental, recreational and sporting opportunities they provide. The community also viewed the appearance, accessibility and management of the reserves as important.

District Park consists of the area commonly known as Nolan, Passmore, Millers and David Thomas Reserves as well as Warringah Golf Course. The park is located at the boundary between the suburbs of Manly Vale and North Manly. District Park is one of Warringah's most significant reserves in terms of its sporting, recreational and open space potential. It is a complex and regional resource containing a number of different categories of community land.
Two creeks flow through District Park. Manly Creek flows from the west, from Manly Dam and joins Brookvale Creek. Brookvale Creek flows from the north, into Manly Lagoon, and both creeks join at the sidebay that sits at the intersection of the golf course, Passmore and Nolan Reserves.

General Community Use Plan of Management
The preparation of this generic plan of management for community land is part of an ongoing process in developing a comprehensive management framework for Warringah Council’s public open space. In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, all land vested in a council (except a road or land to which the Crown Lands Act 1989 applies) must be classified as either community land or operational land.
Plans of management must be prepared and adopted for all community land (i.e. public land vested in or under the control of Council and classified as community land). The use and management of community land must also be consistent with its designated categories and their respective core objectives. These categories include natural area (i.e. bushland, wetland, escarpment, watercourse and foreshore), sportsground, park, area of cultural significance and general community use. This plan of management focuses on land parcels categorised as general community use.
The parcels investigated during the development of this plan of management have a wide variety of characteristics and associated values and issues. These parcels have been grouped according to their core characteristics in order to provide consistent decision-making and guide ongoing management for existing, and subsequently acquired, parcels of community land.
Many of the parcels investigated satisfy the objectives for community land categorised as general community use and will continue to be managed under this as roadside buffers, drainage reserves and for public access and recreation. The plan of management has also identified some parcels which have values that could be better served by other plans of management particularly areas of bushland and parks and a range of parcels that should be reclassified as operational land.

Red Hill & Golden Grove Parks Plan of Management
The 17 hectare Red Hill and Golden Grove Parks are located within Beacon Hill. The area is valued for its natural bushland setting and passive recreational opportunities.
The Plan of Management identified the recently filled quarry at Red Hill Park as an area to be developed for passive recreation. The development of the park area was carried out in accordance with the adopted Plan of Management and was officially opened in June 2001. The once denuded landscape now includes a grassed meadow, dry creek bed and raised areas to take in the 360º views of the surrounding landscape. The environmental values of the parks are also significant with the presence of Duffy's Forest Vegetation Community - a community listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act.

Sportsgrounds Plan of Management - former Warringah
The Sportsgrounds Plan of Management has been prepared to provide guidance for the management of sportsgrounds in Warringah and to establish strategic planning principles for the development and use of sportsgrounds.
Council owns or manages approximately 54 sportsgrounds, configuring approximately 127 sportsfields and over 70 netball and basketball courts.
There are 21 sportsgrounds included in this Plan of Management. The other grounds are covered by specific plans of management (eg. Brookvale Oval and John Fisher Park) although they are listed in this plan to identify their place in the sportsgrounds hierarchy and to establish consistent management principles between the specific and generic plans. The intention is that all grounds will be brought into a consistent management regime as specific plans of management are progressively revised.
