Have your say on Ourimbah land

September 25, 2023 by Merilyn Vale

Community input is being sought for the future use of 1A Jaques Street Ourimbah, following the site being transferred to Council from the University of Newcastle in August.
The rectangular 1050sqm block, originally owned by the community and transferred to the uni in mid 1990s was used teaching for over a decade but in recent years the former community facility, the WW11 Nissen Hut, was left to deteriorate.
Following the transfer of the land after the hut was demolished, Council said any future use of the site would be identified in conjunction with the community.
Acting Director Environment and Planning, Luke Sulkowski said an initial community meeting was held and the wider community can now provide their suggestions as to what uses the site might include.
“We invited the local Member, David Mehan, the Ourimbah Regional Residents Association (ORRA) and residents and businesses in the immediate vicinity to the site to provide their input,” Mr Sulkowski said.
“This has now already provided some excellent ideas as to the future of the site.
“We have now opened up consultation to the wider community via on-line feedback, as well as a further in-person consultation meeting at a later date.”
Administrator Rik Hart said Council was aware of residents’ interest in the future of the site, and its importance to the community.
“The overarching Ourimbah Area Strategy and Centre Masterplan was adopted by Council in March 2022,” he said.
Following consultation on the future use of 1A Jaques Steet, the Master Plan will be updated to include the vision for this site.”
