After initiating public consultation on the district plan, community plans and reserve management plans (RMP) over the past few months, the council will hear from the first of three responses to the RMP at today's meeting.
A council spokeswoman said the RMP covered a 10-year period, to help manage its green spaces in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977.
The council was required to carry out a formal consultation process.
A draft RMP for Balclutha was developed to achieve key goals identified in the council's ''Living and Working in Clutha Strategy''.
Three people will speak at the Service Delivery Committee today about the proposals for Balclutha.
Kevin Barron submitted a written proposal on his vision for Naish Park and will speak today.
He proposed to ''motivate a group of people known as Friends of Naish Park to carry out some of the ideas proposed and enhance the park''.
In his written proposal to the council, Mr Barron said Naish Park could become a garden of ''national significance''.
He also wanted to return the bandstand in the park to its ''former glory'' so it could be used as an entertainment venue.
He anticipated activities of the Friends of Naish Park group would be cost-neutral and not affect ratepayers.
The Department of Conservation (Doc) also submitted on the RMP. However, it did not request to speak at the meeting.
Doc wanted further clarification on which ''reserves'' were actual reserves under the Reserves Act.
It wanted the council to review and confirm all reserve classifications as appropriate under the Act and in accordance with statutory process.
The Southern District Health Board supported the council's vision and wanted more picnic areas and reserves to be made smoke-free.
The council spokeswoman said the submissions on the RMP should not be confused with the general feedback the council sought under the community plan process, as it was not a formal consultation.
