The Coal Point-Carey Bay area has at least 110 parcels of community land, the majority of which are categorised as bushland, with a few parks and drainage watercourses thrown in for good measure. It is what makes our area so special.
Recently Progress Association representatives attended the public hearing held by LMCC to discuss the Draft Plan of Management for Community Land and any categorisation issues. The Pony Club land came up for discussion as it is currently identified as a sports field which precludes other activities. CPPA suggested that a shared use may be preferable with sportsground on one side of the drainage line and parkland on the other. This would allow for a community garden if there was interest for such a community facility.
Progress people are currently reviewing the community land in our area, and attending to a request to provide some 'common names' for local land.
Some names are needed to identify some local areas such as the Pony Club, Carey Bay Wetlands, the ridge reserves off Whitelock St, land at the end of Killara Close and the reserve at the southern end of Laycock Street.
If you would like to provide any comments, send them forth through any one of the communication channels on offer or come along to the monthly meeting, July 4th at the Hall 7-9pm, where options will be discussed.
