MidCoast Council is asking for community input to develop a Place Strategy for Hallidays Point.
“Locals know their neighbourhood best. That’s why we’re asking the Hallidays Point community to tell us what they think the area should look like in the future,” said Council’s Manager of Natural Systems and Land Use Planning, Gerard Tuckerman.
“There will be various opportunities to share your ideas with us over the coming months. Right now, you can head online where you’ll find a number of opportunities to share your ideas and thoughts for the future, including a short survey and interactive map. Tell us what you love about Hallidays Point and share your ideas on what Hallidays Point area might look like in the future. Have your say on future considerations such as conservation, open space, access, community infrastructure and development in Hallidays Point.”
The Hallidays Point Place Strategy covers Black Head, Diamond Beach, Red Head and Tallwoods as well as large areas of farmland, forest, parks and reserves. It’s a popular area for visitors, sea-changers and tree-changers, which has created demand for more residential development.
After it is finalised, the Place Strategy will guide the way land in Hallidays Point will be used over coming decades. It will also outline how we can ensure sustainable development.
Technical studies are also being prepared, including biodiversity, traffic, and bush fire. The Place Strategy will also align with other MidCoast Council documents such as the Housing Strategy, Greening Strategy, Climate Change Policy, Urban Release Areas Report and Biodiversity Framework.
Opportunity to share your views via our online tools will remain open until Sunday 17 July. Later this year, there will be opportunities to meet Council’s project team in the area.
