THE draft Lake Cathie Foreshore Master Plan Review is now on public exhibition, with residents invited to have their say.
“The draft builds on the 2018 Master Plan for this area and has been updated to reflect today’s challenges, opportunities, and aspirations for this much-loved space,” Port Macquarie-Hastings Council said in a statement.
“From improved parking and new pathways to environmental protection and upgraded facilities, the draft plan outlines a staged vision for the future of Lake Cathie’s foreshore reserves.”
The draft plan features a continuous coastal walkway linking reserves; formalised parking; new picnic shelters, shade trees, seating and lighting; coastal protection upgrades including sea wall staging; the relocation of fitness equipment; a reading circle and community toy/book library; and more.
To learn more, attend a Council-run pop up event on Saturday 30 August from midday to 3pm at the Lake Cathie foreshore (near the play space), or on Thursday 4 September from 3pm to 5:30pm at the Lake Cathie Community Hub at 34 Mullaway Road, Lake Cathie.
