PORT Stephens Council is creating a detailed masterplan of Medowie Town Centre in collaboration with the local community.
As Port Stephens’ fastest growing suburb, Council says the plan is essential to accommodate Medowie’s future growth.
“This masterplan will provide a clear framework for the future of the Council-owned land opposite Woolworths,” Mayor Leah Anderson said.
“The master planning process aims to preserve open spaces, the natural environment and Medowie’s unique character that residents love.”
The Council is seeking community input in developing the plan, requesting that local residents and business owners share their perspectives.
The community engagement will guide development and investment as the town grows.
“We want to make sure everyone has a voice in shaping our town centre’s future,” Mayor Anderson said.
“I encourage people to get involved and help us determine what’s most important for Medowie’s growth and ensure the town centre is a place where everyone can thrive.”
The ideas at the foundation of the Medowie Place Plan have already been developed over a period of time through community consultation.
The plan aims to support additional opportunities for residential development, employment lands and public infrastructure.
Residents can share their thoughts at a workshop at Medowie Community Centre on Monday 25 August, an online workshop on Thursday 28 August or using the online mapping tool.
Information and opportunities to contribute can be found on Port Stephens Council website.
