Community Consultation- Bowraville Accessible Parking

PROPOSED OPTIONS – FOUR (4) - TO FACILITATE ACCESSIBLE PARKING AND ACCESS TO THE BOWRAVILLE THEATRE FOR PATRONS OF ALL ABILITIES

Council is proposing a solution to improving disabled access to, and from, the historical Bowraville Theatre, (74 High Street, Bowraville), given the recent upgrades of access and internal facilities at this venue.

Council’s Engineering Services Team has proposed 4 possible options for better accessibility to the Theatre, and would appreciate community input into the possible options.

There are four (4) options for review being:

 OPTION A – installation of a Refuge Island between the existing pram ramps in front of the Bowra Hotel (33 High Street) and the Bowraville IGA – 76 High Street, from the disabled parking space in front of the Bowraville Pharmacy (31 High Street);

 OPTION B – marking an Accessible Parking space in front of 72 High Street, Bowraville which would occupy 2 traditional bays, and installation of a ramp;

 OPTION C – marking an Accessible Parking space in front of 70 High Street – will occupy 1.5 traditional spaces, and adjusting marking to remaining spaces north of new bay by 300mm each;

 OPTION D – adjustments to the loading zone in front of the IGA Supermarket, as marked, and marking an Accessible Parking space adjacent to the Loading Zone, near the Theatre;

The proposed Options are contained in this document and Council would sincerely appreciate community responses by Friday, 19 December 2025, to better facilitate disabled access to our historical Bowraville Theatre. A report with a collation of responses, with a recommendation, will be tabled at the January Council meeting, so that works may commence early in 2026.

 

There is a Form at the end of the document, that can be completed, and returned to Council, marking your preferred option. Please return this form to council by email: council@nambucca.nsw.gov.au or drop into the Council Administration Centre at 44 Princess Street, Macksville. Council sincerely thanks you for your co-operation and input.
