Lake Macquarie's Munibung Hill's 10 year draft plan has been released for possible community accessibility and future resources.
Lake Macquarie City Council is set to use this plan as a draft for future management in order to successfully capitalise on the precinct by both keeping with community interest while seeking tourists to the area.
The 130ha plan combines suburbs of Macquarie Hills, Boolaroo, Speers Point, Warners Bay and Lakelands.
Some of the proposed changes are within the limitations of upholding the environmental and cultural values of the site while enhancing the use of the hill.
Manager of Community Assets at Lake Macquarie Council Brendan Callander said he is confident in maintain the sites untouched beauty while being able to add things such as; off-road parking, picnic tables, signage and toilets, all of which are lacking from the much-loved site.
“Anyone who has made the climb to the top would agree this is one of the Hunter Region’s best-kept secrets. The views of the lake, the Watagans and across the city’s suburbs are incredible.”
