Some of the identified uses are not consistent with the Management Strategy and therefore should
be dismissed as potential uses.
There are however identified commercial development opportunities which are considered to be
consistent with the management strategy and use of the property as “public land” for nature
conservation and recreational use which could complement and enhance the reserve. These uses
can provide financial returns to provide better maintenance and facilities for use of the reserve by
the general and accordingly sensitive commercial development should therefore be encouraged. In
addition, the Clarence City Council would appear to have an important role to play in terms of the
provision of community facilities which are not commercial viable but would enhance the use and
visitation of the site, improve use and experiences afforded to the local community and which will
underpin viability of appropriate commercial activities.
There are commercial development opportunities which are
considered to be consistent with the management strategy and use
of the property as “public land” for nature conservation and
recreational use which could complement and enhance Rosny Hill
and the public’s use of the Reserve and simultaneously provide the
financial capacity for the improved use and maintenance of the
Reserve. Sensitive commercial development should therefore be
encouraged.
