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 />
