There is a great amount of discussion at the present time to the redevelopment of Memorial Drive in the main business district of Forster.
Memorial Drive is the waterside of the main shopping centre and is a wonderful space for locals and tourists alike and is the lifeblood entrance to the main shops for the retail sector. As a rapidly growing and developing tourist area it is vital for us all who live here to ensure that the future development of the town is something we are happy and proud of.
There is an opportunity for you to have input into this future by looking at the options and having your say or to perhaps to suggest a compromise between the two options or a relevant alternative.
Here is some information from Mid coast council:

The final stage in improving the Memorial Drive foreshore will soon take place between the Little Street carpark and Blows Lane. This upgrade will extend the walkway / cycleway through to Tuncurry, but involves forfeiting some car-parking. Tell us how you’d like to use this section of the Memorial Drive foreshore by reviewing the two proposed designs below, and then completing our short online survey.
Plan A: More parking, less space
Plan A is ideal for those who visit the area for business or shopping and want the convenience of parking in Memorial Drive. This option will result in the loss of around 4 car-parks, but only provide a small area of additional green space.
Plan B: Less parking, more space
This plan is perfect for people who view Memorial Drive as a haven within the CBD, and want more green space for relaxation and recreation. This option will open up much more green space with trees and seating along the waterside, but means the loss of around 21 car-parks.
Have your say! Tell us which option you prefer, by taking our survey now.
