Residents meeting kick-starts consultation

Council kick-started its community engagement period for the Kingscliff Central Park concept plans by addressing a meeting of the Kingscliff Residents and Ratepayers Association on Monday 7 April.

The Council's Senior Design Engineer, Warren Boyd, outlined a three-stage program - contained in Council's Kingscliff Foreshore Master Plan - to restore sand supplies on the Kingscliff beach and dunes, redevelop the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park and create the Central Park.

Mr Boyd informed resident association members about the proposed park's designs and objectives, as well as the causes of severe erosion of the southern section of Kingscliff Beach.

Association members raised questions about several features of the park, including the expanded area around the cenotaph, a new amenities building near the playground, and the provision of additional parking.

The broader community will have plenty of opportunity to find out about Kingscliff Central Park and to ask questions, when Council staff stage an information session at the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships on Saturday, 19 March.

Council will have an information stall in Lions Park, next to the Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club, from 10am to 2pm. Residents are invited to drop into the stall any time during that period, to view documents and videos about the Central Park and to ask questions about the park and Kingscliff Foreshore Master Plan.
