Murchison Park is set to be largely converted from mown grass to native forest under the Murchison Forest Park Restoration Plan. The planting plan includes 16,700m2 of new native forest, which will see canopy cover increase from 24% to 60%.
The proposal is open for public feedback until 26 May 2025.
