About the Project

The Scotts Head Masterplan aims to promote an integrated and coordinated management strategy that enables stakeholders to work together to improve their public spaces and foreshores. A key outcome of the masterplan will be to identify what is currently working well, highlight areas of concern, and propose practical solutions to improve overall land management at Scotts Head.

The Project Reference Group (PRG) will work closely with Council staff and the project consultants, Locale Consulting, to provide meaningful, representative input and feedback.

The PRG membership will include: 

  • One Council elected representative
  • One representative from Reflections Holiday Parks
  • One representative from Crown Lands
  • One representative from Scotts Head Community Group
  • Three community members selected to represent a cross section of the community.
  • One youth community member
