Scotts Head Master Plan enters its second phase

Published on 25 June 2026

The Scotts Head Master Plan project has entered it exciting second phase where the draft Master Plan elements are now available for community feedback.

Nambucca Valley Council Acting General Manager David Moloney said the draft master plan elements had been built on the feedback provided by the community in the initial round of community consultation, held from April to mid-May.

“We were pleased with the great response the community provided during the first consultation phase, with 322 respondents to the survey and about 100 people attending the community drop-in event,” he said.

“We’re asking people to stay involved, to read the project’s Background Paper, which shares draft elements of the master plan including potential improvements or changes to the town’s foreshore areas and public spaces.

“Council and our project partner, Reflections Holidays, received feedback on existing facilities and open space and have received many ideas for future improvements with short-term priorities being the headland space, weed mitigation and bush regeneration.

“The next stage is exciting because we can build on these ideas and work through potential solutions together, so keep participating during the project’s second phase.”

Scotts Head residents and visitors are encouraged to read the Scotts Head Master Plan Background Paper available online. 

Once you’ve viewed the Background Paper, please take the online survey and share your thoughts or attend the in-person drop-in event on Saturday 27 June 2026, from 10am to 1pm, at the Scotts Head Recreation Hut.

Reflections CEO Nick Baker welcomed the community feedback and the second phase of the draft Master Plan.

“The feedback gathered from locals through this process will help to ensure that this beautiful area is nurtured for future generations to enjoy,” he said.

Community feedback on the Scotts Head Master Plan Background Paper and its online survey is open until 11 July 2026.
