Eurobodalla Shire Council project engineer Russell Burke and engineering cadet Tom Franzen visited the students to show them plans of the road works and new roundabout that are under construction.

The engineers listened to their ideas on the landscaping that is to complete the works by improving the streetscape along the Narooma Flat.

“The students were keen to have their say and gave us great feedback by completing the phase two survey and giving us drawings that represented what Narooma meant to them,” Mr Burke said.

The students’ drawings were full of ideas about what they like to see included in the landscaping design.

Eurobodalla Shire Council Youth Committee members also contributed thoughts and ideas to the project.

To date, Mr Burke said 191 surveys have been returned to council and he and the consultant landscape architects, Ayling & Drury, agree this is an outstanding response so far.

The community has until this Friday to have their say by completing the landscape design survey available at www.esc.nsw.gov.au

Hard copy surveys can also be picked up at Narooma Library, visitors centre and depot and at Club Narooma and ABC Meads Bakery on the Narooma flat.

Narooma Streetscape Sunset Advisory Committee chairman and mayor Lindsay Brown said the next step would be the preparation of a draft concept plan by Ayling and Drury that considers everyone’s feedback.

“This concept plan will then be presented to the community for further comment,” Clr Brown said.

Narooma Sporting and Services Club general manager Tony Casu said one concern was adequate parking for the combined pool, NATA Oval and leisure centre complexes to allow for say a swim meet and market on the same day.

The club wanted to ensure its parking was not all taken and also had concerns about access to club during the works and the final lay-out.
