The Lake Mac 2050 Strategy is open for community comment until 2/10/18. The following excerpt from p64 describes the TORONTO TOWN CENTRE PRECINCT.
- The relationship between the waterfront and The Boulevard is improved
- The foreshore is rejuvenated, consistent with the cultural and heritage values of the foreshore area and the waterway, including appropriate small-scale commercial opportunities
- A town park provides a formal community focus and a place for workers, visitors and residents to gather or relax along The Boulevard, west of Pemell Street
- Walking and cycling in the centre and surroundings is safe and convenient, with connections to the Fassifern Greenway and recreational areas along Stony Creek
- The centre provides an interchange point for local buses to high-frequency, high-capacity ’spine’ services to major destinations and interchange points, such as Glendale, Belmont the University of Newcastle, Newcastle City Centre and John Hunter Hospital, as well as to the Fassifern train station

HANDS OFF THE WATERFRONT. WE LIKE THE NATURE WALK AROUND THE PLACE. THE CURRENT PARKS AND CAFE ARE OKAY BUT WE NEED SPACE AND PARKING. THE COUNCIL HAD NO RIGHT TO SELL THE COMMNITY HALL AND LAND AT FENNELL BAY. THEY SHOULD HAVE IMPROVED IT FOR THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. WE NEED A WARF AT FENNELL BAY LIKE THE ONE IN TORONTO.THE CHILDREN HAVE NO PROPER WAY TO FISH IN SAFETY WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM.THERE IS NO PROPER AREA DEVELOPED FOR THE CHILDREN TO PLAY HERE.PLEASE DO SO,AND WE NEED SOME NICE PLANTS IN THE MEDIUM STRIP AT FENNELL BAY. WE NEED DEDICATED MUSEUM OR SUCH ABORIGINAL RECOGNITION OF THE HISTORY AND SITES OF THE ABORIGINALS AROUND THE LAKE.THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT LIFE IS EASIER FOR THEM,NO ANGST FROM THEM PLEASE. PLEASE LEAVE THE LAKE FORESHORE FREE AND NATURAL SO AS WE HAVE SOME WILD PLACES LEFT FOR US TO ENJOY.
