Connection to Council's Community Strategic Plan

Feedback from the Pambula and Merimbula area in response to the “Understanding Our Place” community engagement process, which subsequently informed the Community Strategic Plan (CSP), included “improved recreation facilities and spaces”. This feedback links to CSP Outcome 1 Active and Healthy Communities; specifically, the second goal of this outcome of “access to good quality recreation and sporting facilities”.
