Council seeks comment on another foreshore plan
Central Coast Council is seeking feedback about its Masterplan for the Hardys Bay Foreshore.
Acting Council Director Mr Jamie Loader said the new Masterplan would be developed in collaboration with the local community.
"The objective of the project is to provide solutions to community concerns and improvements to Hardys Bay Foreshore amenities, access, safety and environmental integrity.
"We have listened to the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association and other residents who have raised concerns regarding the condition of Hardys Bay Foreshore, including a deteriorating foreshore edge, potential damage to essential infrastructure, and a lack of public amenity within the Bay.
"There are also other concerns identified, such as flooding and drainage issues, limited footpaths, and public facilities.
"We're inviting the local Hardys Bay and surrounding community to participate in the planning process, voice concerns and help to identify improvement opportunities."
An online survey and interactive map are available for community feedback at yourvoiceourcoast.com until October 28.
Mr Loader said the Masterplan would be a component of Council's overall Coastal Management Programs.
"The inclusion of the Hardys Bay Masterplan into the CMP, will provide opportunities for funding through the NSW Coastal and Estuary grants program and consideration for capital funding in future Council budgets."
