Thank you for your interest in this project. This consultation has now concluded.

The draft Lake Cathie Foreshore Master Plan Review (LCFMPR) is now on public exhibition, and you are invited to have your say.

The draft builds on the 2018 Master Plan for this area and has been updated to reflect today’s challenges, opportunities, and aspirations for this much-loved space.

From improved parking and new pathways to environmental protection and upgraded facilities, the draft plan outlines a staged vision for the future of Lake Cathie’s foreshore reserves.

What’s included in the draft plan?

  • A continuous coastal walkway linking reserves
  • Safer, more accessible paths and crossings
  • Formalised parking that protects tree roots
  • New picnic shelters, shade trees, seating and lighting
  • Coastal protection upgrades including sea wall staging
  • Fitness equipment relocated outside the playground
  • Reading circle and community toy/book library
  • Improvements at Aqua Reserve, Bundella Ave, Jonathan Dickson Reserve, and more

How we got here
We heard your ideas during our community workshops during March and April this year. Your feedback on parking, erosion, safety, trees, access and amenity helped shape this updated draft.
