- Fatigue relating to change and development

- Maintain the coastal ‘village feel’

- Need for pedestrian and cycling connections between neighbourhoods

- Maintain and improve beach amenity (access and stormwater management)

- Need for housing for mixed incomes

- Infrastructure needs including toilets, carparking, playgrounds, facilities, paths and roads

- State Government services, particularly schools, sport and recreation facilities, and policing

- Streetscape improvements in residential areas, especially more street trees.

Council staff are now working to produce a planning study and a draft plan. The draft Lennox Head Strategic Plan is expected to be placed on public exhibition in mid to late-2023. The community will be invited to provide feedback and submissions on the draft plan during this stage.
