Mayor's Weekly Message

Manly2015. Tell us your views

29 Apr 2011

Manly Council is inviting you to comment on its sweeping new ‘Manly2015’ master plan, Council’s strategic and sustainable plan to improve and renew Manly as a local town centre and international tourist destination.

‘Manly2015’, which had its official public launch today (Friday 29 April), aims to bring people back to the heart of Manly for their shopping, business and leisure pastimes by promoting safety through intelligent streetscape design and by revitalising shops, services, restaurants, cafes and culture in the streets and laneways around The Corso.

‘Manly2015’ also envisages improvements to public spaces and streetscape as well as reconfiguring traffic flows to renew the Manly town centre.

It features long-term infrastructure upgrades to benefit the local environment, economy and the community, too.

A public consultation and exhibition process for the ‘Manly2015’ will run until the middle of September 2011.

Concept drawings and plans are available for public inspection at Manly Council’s Customer Service Centre in Belgrave Street, at Manly Library, Seaforth Library as well as at the Manly Skiff Club, East Esplanade.

A special interactive website showing concept drawings, maps, videos and other features of ‘Manly2015’ is available online here.

You can make a submission to give your views about ‘Manly2015’ including by writing to ‘Manly2015 Submissions’, Manly Council, PO Box 82, Manly NSW 1655; by email to records@manly.nsw.gov.au and on-line here.

A free, full-colour booklet outlining the main features of Manly2015 is available on request at Manly Council offices; by telephone at (02) 9976 1500 and by email to records@manly.nsw.gov.au.

‘Manly2015’ is about your community. I am looking forward to hearing what you think about it.
