Council is getting ready to ask for feedback from the community on the draft landscape design plans that have been developed for the second phase of the Narooma Streetscaping Project.
The plans for the flat area between Wharf and Field streets have been developed by council's landscape architect following the first round of consultation with Narooma businesses and residents in March this year.
Chair of the Narooma Streetscaping Sunset Advisory Committee, Mayor Lindsay Brown, says the response from the community in March was exceptional with more than 250 business owners and residents providing their feedback.
"The feedback was amazing, really helpful, and it has been used to develop the new, draft landscape plans that we will be showing the community on 24 and 25 of August," said Cr Brown.
"We are after feedback from local residents and business which will be used to develop the final landscape designs."
The landscaping works are to be implemented in conjunction with the current civil construction works and are expected to be completed by June 2014.
Cr Brown says there are a number of trees to be removed to allow for implementation of the landscape design and more information on these will be available during the consultation. The information can also be found on council's website.
"Before the final landscape design is finalised, council will make sure it includes an extensive amount of new tree plantings to compensate for the loss of each tree along the Narooma flat and to provide significant improvements in the visual amenity, enjoyment and accessibility of this part of town," said Cr Brown.
