Landscaping Draft

Landscaping and Beautification Chair Stan Davies has been working hard putting together an initial draft plan for key areas of village landscaping, and is presenting to the management committee this week the plans for the area between the new boardwalk (going from the pedestrian bridge at Washtub Creek to the service station), and Thomas Street.  

Further clarification of land ownership is needed before planning proceeds in a more detailed fashion for the area between Koolyangarra Reserve and the Tavern along Koolyangarra Way, including the bus turnaround.

Much of this area is a conglomeration of old travelling stock route, road reserve and Crown Land.    The Lands Office in Taree has offered to assist Council in sorting out this area, so the community can be assured of ownership and possible approved uses.

Future JRIG meetings will help to illuminate this area, and to ensure any use is in-line with community expectations and those of the adjoining property owners of course as well.

If you’re interested in Landscaping,  or can donated much-needed supplies, give Stan (Davo) a call on 6556 5005!
