The proposal includes the following main elements:

· A Waterbody
· An Event Space
· The Square (public realm space)
· Woodland and Grassland
· West Mains Pond Wetland Reserve and Boardwalks
· Pathways
· Play Areas
· Wetland

Once further refined, the plans relating to the detailed design of the proposal will be submitted for Council approval.
