Coffs Harbour City Centre Masterplan 2031

We want to hear your thoughts on achieving the adopted Coffs Harbour City Centre Masterplan objectives...

In 2013 Council adopted this Masterplan. Five years on, now is a perfect opportunity to assess how we are progressing in achieving the objectives outlined in the plan and check whether these are still relevant and important today.

Rate your satisfaction with the achievement of the following masterplan objectives, the importance of these objectives and any ideas for marketing and activating the City Centre:

1. Coffs Harbour’s CBD will be transformed and re-branded as Coffs Harbour City Centre

2. City Centre streetscapes will be enhanced as linear parks with trees, shrubs, street furniture and additional shade sails strategically located to identify the City Centre, welcome visitors and provide clear pedestrian links and weather protection along key connections

3. Through traffic will be directed around the City Centre by a series of clearly marked ring roads while movement within the area will be slowed, creating a safe, friendly zone for pedestrians, bikes and mobility scooters

4. The City Centre will be vibrant at night

5. The City Square will be the beating heart of the City Centre, with an outdoor performance space featuring social and cultural events and attractions intermixed with bustling night as well as day markets, full of fresh local produce and wares from local creative industries

6. The visual appeal and easy access will encourage walking and cycling, promoting a healthier lifestyle and less reliance on motor vehicles

7. The establishment of Coffs Harbour as the regional capital and a world class tourism destination

8. A collection of lifestyle assets including pools, gyms, parks, walkways, cycle ways, playgrounds, library, art gallery and day spas will continue to be developed, enticing inner city residential living as well as increased daily visitation

9. The communal, social and cultural wealth of Coffs Harbour will be enhanced through realising the full potential of government assets including land, buildings and services

10. To deliver a new cultural, entertainment and civic building as close as possible to the City Square

11. Greater utilisation of existing parking facilities will be achieved by the improvement of access and security and the relocation of long-term parking to the outer perimeter
