Media Release - Public Meeting - Sports Reserve, Dungeness Road, Lucinda

Council has commenced public consultation regarding potential changes for the future use of the Sports Reserve on Dungeness Road, Lucinda, to facilitate land for development.

The land is currently reserved for sport and recreation.

Mayor Ramon Jayo said, “Council’s vision for the Sports Reserve, Dungeness Road is to establish a land bank for future Residential, Mixed Use, Tourism or Commercial purposes.”

“Lucinda is currently land locked, and opportunities for development are limited. Lucinda needs room to grow. The public consultation provides the community with an opportunity to discuss options for future uses with Council for the benefit of the community.”
