PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL<br />
2) Laurie Street Reserve - This site is Crown Land for which <strong>Council</strong> is appointed as the trustee<br />
manager. The site is the smallest of the proposed sites and would only allow for a total area of<br />
3,800m2. Whilst this is considered adequate it is not ideal. It is located directly to the south of<br />
the Laurieton Pool and adjoins the current Camden Haven River walk. No natural shade is<br />
available and a toilet block would need to be constructed. On street parking is available but<br />
would require formalising. There would also be some minor vegetation removal required. The<br />
area is bounded by the Camden Haven River to the east and residential properties to the west.<br />
Some impact on these residential properties would need to be considered.<br />
3) Stace Reserve - This site is Crown Land for which <strong>Council</strong> is appointed as the trustee<br />
manager. The proposed site is located directly to the west of the Laurieton Fisherman<br />
Co-operative. The site is bounded on the west by residential properties. The proposed area<br />
would encompass a number of existing shade trees minimising the requirement for major<br />
beautification works and landscaping. The area is already fully turfed and maintained by<br />
<strong>Council</strong>. Satisfactory access is existing and would only require a short formalised footpath to<br />
be constructed. On-street parking is available but would require formalising. No toilet facilities<br />
exist and would need to be constructed. Water facilities are close by. This site is mainly level<br />
but does slope toward the south of the block but would not require any earthworks. Some<br />
impact on residential properties to be considered.<br />
Cost Analysis:<br />
A site/cost analysis on each site is shown in the following spreadsheet:<br />
It is proposed that the potential leash-free area options be the subject of further community<br />
engagement.<br />
Alignment With Strategic Direction<br />
This proposal aligns with the <strong>Council</strong>'s strategies on community engagement and its Social and<br />
Environment Focus Areas.<br />
