A Master Plan is a long term vision that establishes a framework and key elements of how a park can be developed.

The following principles guide the development of a Master Plan:

• A 10-20 year vision to develop the site, subject to ongoing needs analysis and available funding;
• Current trends;
• Relevant information, site constraints and consultation with stakeholders; and
• A high level implementation plan with identified priorities for development and budget estimates.

Master Plans are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain relevant with current trends to meet the needs of the community.

The Dauth Park Precinct has a number of factors that have been considered in the master planning process. These include, although not limited to:

• A number of different user groups;
• A high demand for car parking;
• The site is landlocked, with limited opportunity to expand facilities;
• Synergies with the adjacent Beenleigh State High School;
• Enhance the sense of arrival and wayfinding within the site (i.e. movement through the site for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles);
• Opportunities for the Beenleigh Aquatic Centre; and
• Proximity and connection to the Beenleigh Town Square.

A Master Plan is a long-term vision of how a site may be developed, subject to needs analysis and funding. Council will look at a variety of funding sources for development of the site, including other government agencies. Organisations or clubs that operate from the site may also seek funding from various sources to develop aspects of the Master Plan. As the Master Plan has been guided by community input, all development will be in line with the Master Plan’s vision.
