Director Environment and Planning Report
ITEM 9.4 SF1266 301109 Report from RDM on the exhibition and submissions received on the Nambucca River Master Plan |
That John Tait address the meeting in relation to the Exhibition and Submissions received on the Nambucca River Master Plan prior to the Consultants attending the meeting to address the report.
Comments Noted: The Tennis club is not opposing moving the boat ramp – the road would be in the middle of a playground. Pt 2 of reco if the boat ramp ideally could be moved east in Gordon Park would leave where boat ramp was for a swimming area. Reco 12 - Another road through Gordon Park – didn’t see where this came up except in the negative – emergency vehicle access path – this is not needed – if there is an emergency there is the river to gain access. There is also a helicopter pad being put in the plan so therefore do not see need for another vehicle access through Gordon Park
