Everyone who uses Old Bar Park is being asked to provide ideas for improving the popular recreational area.
“MidCoast Council is developing a park master plan so that we can apply for State and Federal funding to help achieve the community’s vision for this beautiful space,” said Council’s Manager Strategy and Projects, Amanda Hatton.
The master plan includes possible park additions along with the strategic placement of new and existing structures and facilities including car parking.
The Park area includes the foreshore area from the Old Bar Surf Lifesaving Club to the playground and extends back to the tennis courts, football fields and the land north of the fields.
“We want to hear from the community about how they use the Park now. We also want to know what you would like to see in the future. Your suggestions for what could improve the Park are welcome.”
It’s easy to have your say. You can head to the have your say page (link at the top of this page) to have your say online.
You can also meet Council’s team at the Old Bar Markets on Sunday 27 August or Sunday 24 September.
“We’ll be out and about in the Park during the school holidays on Wednesday 27 September from 12pm-3pm and Friday 29 September from 9am -12pm.”
Council will engage with students at Old Bar Public School and Old Bar Preschool to gather their ideas. The team will contact Park user groups such as sports groups, the Old Bar market and festival organisers, and service clubs.
“We are very keen to improve accessibility at Old Bar Park for everyone to enjoy,” added Ms Hatton.
