Consultation for Scotts Head Master Plan phase two extended
Published on 29 June 2026
About 100 people attended the in-person drop-in session on Saturday to learn more about the Scotts Head Master Plan project.
The project is in its second phase where draft Master Plan elements, built on the ideas received during the first round of community consultation, are available for the community to review and test, now up until 18 July 2026.
Nambucca Valley Mayor Gary Lee attended the drop-in session on Saturday 27 June and he said it was great the Scotts Head community is well engaged with the project.
“I enjoyed hearing every person’s point-of-view on Saturday and I felt all of the exhibition materials of maps of high interest foreshore and public space areas were excellent,” he said.
“When Council embarked on this project with the community and Reflections Holidays, we sought a broad range of views on ideas for how to better manage and improve the public spaces and foreshores at Scotts Head.
“Broad commentary is being generated and we have heard from some stakeholders that they would like more time to engage with and discuss the master plan Background Paper. So we are extending the closing date for feedback for one more week, until 18 July 2026, to give our community more time.”
Scotts Head residents and visitors are encouraged to read the Scotts Head Master Plan Background Paper and take the survey available online.
The Background Paper contains maps of and draft ideas for future, potential options at Scotts Head headland reserve area, day use reserve area, village green and Adin Street open spaces. It also seeks the community’s feedback on the themes of vehicle parking, streetscapes and connectivity/beach access.
After this second project phase closes on 18 July 2026, third party consultant, Locale Consulting, will collate all feedback and prepare the full, draft master plan. This will be reported to Council for the consideration by Councillors, before being formally exhibited for the community to make their final comments on. It Is intended the final Scotts Head Master Plan will be reported to Council by the end of 2026.
Feedback provided on the master plan Background Paper and survey may be incorporated in a Council business paper or otherwise publicly disclosed. Council and Reflections Holidays are jointly funding the development of the Scotts Head Master Plan document.
