Our Cities and Places team is proud to be engaged by The Snowy Monaro Regional Council to plan and design upgrades along the Lake Jindabyne Foreshore.
The New South Wales Government is investing in seven priority projects at the Snowy Mountains and Jindabyne Precinct. This is just one of the many priority projects forming part of a 40-year vision to support the development of tourism opportunities, improve community amenities, support a diverse housing supply, and create long-term sustainable growth in regional areas.
Lake Jindabyne and the Jindabyne Township share a rich history in their relationship with Monero-Ngarigo Country, European culture, and the Snowy Mountains alpine region. Better connectivity, with improved and new public and recreational spaces, is at the design forefront.
To date, stakeholder consultations have acknowledged the community’s and Traditional Owners’ passion for sharing many vital stories.
As a key tourist destination, the community identified essential themes that could be represented on the Cultural and Educational Trail to preserve and share knowledge of the local area’s history and people.
Now, considering all the feedback during the master planning concept design phase, the comprehensive concept design package for the Lake Jindabyne Foreshore is seeking community feedback.
The key areas of the design package include:
– Shared User Path
– Cultural and Educational Trail
– Foreshore Trail Connection
– The Sailing Club
– Claypits
– Waterfront Park
– Banjo Paterson Park, including pump track and expanded playground.
Clare O’Brien, Associate Landscape Architect and project lead, said,
‘It’s been a remarkable journey so far working with the Regional Growth NSW Development Corporation team, our design partners Indesco and Common Ground Trails, and key community stakeholders.
We’re honored to bring this area’s rich history to life, celebrate the outdoors and improve amenity for all users year-round.
We’re excited to hear more community feedback and continue progressing toward the long-term vision.’
