The home for all engagement information on the Crescent Head Foreshore Project and Community Advisory Group.

Overview

On this page you will find the latest updates, news and progress on the Crescent Head Foreshore Project as well as information from the Community Advisory Group (CAG).

Background

Crescent Head has a long history of foreshore planning, with many diverse community perspectives contributing to the process over time. Since July 2024, a dedicated Advisory Group of 13 community members has been working collaboratively and with Council to discuss and plan improvements for the foreshore and Willow Street community spaces. The group has engaged in lively, yet respectful conversations, striving to understand differing perspectives and make thoughtful concessions to ensure a collaborative approach. Their focus has been on identifying the best possible outcome for the community and all users of these spaces.

Next Steps

To keep the community informed and involved in the planning process, Council is now working with the Advisory Group to seek community feedback on a ‘working draft’ concept plan. This is an important opportunity for the community to share their views before further refinements are made to the plan. The group has had extensive discussions to reach this stage, and they are committed to ensuring the final concept reflects the community’s needs and priorities.

Now we need your thoughts and views on the Foreshore Working Draft Concept, you can have your say by completing the survey below, making a written submission or talking with us in person on these dates:
