A community Discussion Paper for Boomanulla Oval was distributed by the IAG in June 2015, including a Boomanulla Oval survey which was open for submissions between 5 June 2015 and 3 July 2015. While targeted at the Indigenous community the survey was open for anyone to respond. This survey was to gain a better understanding of what Boomanulla Oval meant to the Indigenous community and to seek community input towards creating a viable vision for the facility moving forward. This was done online (with paper copies provided to Indigenous service providers such as Winnunga and Gugan Gulwan). There were a total 150 responses to the survey. The survey findings helped to shape the initial REOI and the current RFT.

(b) Local residents

Local residents have received updates through presentations to the Old Narrabundah Community Council, attended by ACT Government representatives and representatives from Winnunga. Local residents, including the Old Narrabundah Community Council were also among key stakeholders consulted in 2017 during the process of developing a Strategic Plan for Boomanulla Oval.

(c) Sporting community

The Canberra Cavalry and local Indigenous sporting teams were among key stakeholders consulted in 2017 during the process of developing a Strategic Plan for Boomanulla Oval.
