the Florey dryland oval. The Education Directorate has been working with the school to gather ideas for a suitable open space for the students on a portion of the oval site, which would also improve local recreation facilities. The ACT COVID-19 lockdown delayed any further engagement work planned by the Education Directorate in 2021. Indicative sketches have been developed and will form the basis for the next phase of consultation.

(2) TCCS is currently reviewing the existing land management plans for public unleased land, which includes dryland ovals. As part of that review, consideration will be given to the future management of dryland ovals. The review will result in a single land management plan which is anticipated to be released as a draft for public comment in mid-2022. With regard to Florey Oval, the Education Directorate met with the school Principal in April 2022 to recommence communication and engagement activities. Over coming months this will include engagement with staff, students and the school community; exploration and discussion with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives; as well as seeking feedback from the Florey and Belconnen communities. Community engagement activities are expected to be completed and an outcome announced by the end of July 2022. Following the community engagement activities Education will work with TCCS to determine pathways to achieving outcomes.
