In August 2019 Council hosted three walk and talk sessions for community members to share their ideas about possibilities for the Batemans Bay waterfront that would encourage more people to come to the Batemans Bay waterfront more often and for longer.
Council and specialist tourism planning and urban design consultants (Inspiring Place) asked a range of stakeholders about their ideas to encourage more locals and visitors to enjoy the waterfront in Batemans Bay more often and for longer.
Council are advising by mailout:
"We are identifying opportunities to activate the waterfront through the enhancement of public spaces, establishing a framework for quality urban design and built form, establishing activities and uses that facilitate greater place-making, and increasing movement and recreation opportunities to and on the waterfront.
"The project is an outcome of several State and Council strategic documents which identify the need to reinforce Batemans Bay as a key regional centre and marine tourism hub. It will also build on and integrate with the opportunities created by the Batemans Bay Bridge replacement and associated works to the foreshore area."
Learn more of the emerging ideas HERE and have your say. Submissions are due by 29 November 2019.
Council also met with businesses, landowners, recreation groups and other stakeholder groups to discuss ideas from their perspective.
