Past Feedback
The master plan for Harrison Park includes an area with a youth focus
which is centred around active sport, activity
and social seating areas.
We spoke to those aged 12-24 who live, study, or play in Shellharbour to hear exactly what our Youth Area should look like. You can see the results from this consultation here!
