The Edward Bennett Oval Landscape Masterplan sets the long term vision for capital works upgrades within the park. The masterplan went on public exhibition from November 14 to 28, 2022.
Key features of the landscape masterplan include:

The ‘Amended Edward Bennett Oval Playground Concept Plan’ was finalised in May 2025 following Community Consultation on the Draft Playground Concept Plan in December 2024-February 2025.
The project is jointly funded by the NSW Government in association with Hornsby Shire Council.
