Legana Recreation Plan

Legana is one of the fastest growing localities within the West Tamar Municipal Area. The 2001 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census indicated a population increase of approximately 200 people over the previous 5 years.

In 2001 there were 2594 people living in 922 households with an average of 2.8 people per household, which is above the average of 2.2 for Tasmania. 62.6% of the population was aged from 15 to 64 years and 25.3% aged under 15 years. At the time of the census 11.3% of residents were renting their homes while 88.7% were either purchasing or owned their homes outright.

From 2001 to April 2004 council approved further subdivisions equalling 80 lots of varying sizes:

• 75 lots of less than 2000m2
• 2 lots of 2000 to 5000m2
• 1 lot of 5000 to 1 hectare; and
• 2 lots over 5 hectares

In order to accommodate growing needs and to plan adequately for the future of Legana, council held a number of meetings with the local community in relation to developing a Legana Recreation Plan and Community Plan. The community strongly indicated the need for a review of recreational facilities, in particular, the Legana Recreation Ground, a multi-use community facility, current and future use of public open space, playgrounds and equipment and walking trails.
