MidCoast Council resolved at its meeting on Wednesday 26 July to ask the Old Bar community to help develop a master plan for Old Bar Park.
"Old Bar Park is much-loved and a well-used open community space right on the beach that extends around to the sporting and recreational facilities located off Old Bar Road," said Council's Community Spaces Manager Strategy and Projects, Amanda Hatton.
"It's used for a wide variety of activities, and by many people. We want to ensure we keep the elements that are important to the community and people who use the Park."
Developing a master plan will help Council attract grants to achieve the improvements that are identified in the plan.
"Putting together a master plan is also a great opportunity to redesign some aspects of the Park. Changes could help the Park function better and improve user experience," added Ms Hatton.
A community consultation will kick off in mid-August and run until the end of September.
"We will be out and about in Old Bar at community events and in the Park, asking users what they love about the Park, what needs improving and for any great ideas to help us put together a master plan," said Ms Hatton.
Council will also meet with Park user groups to identify their needs and ideas for improvements.
