Other notes
Sustainable Economic Management Strategy EM1
Develop recreational infrastructure (trail head and walking path) in a staged process. The first stage, (this Management Plan), focuses on existing tracks and access points that are on Council land.
Further investigations and negotiation over the next ten years may lead to more opportunities for recreational access. EM2
Conduct feasibility assessments at the detailed design stage to confirm costs and benefits of track and trail head works (including capital costs and ongoing maintenance costs) are consistent with Council policies and provide good value for the community.
Council aims to provide public benefit and good value by managing costs and benefits carefully.

The community of Lake Macquarie City. Potential funding sources outside council (grant providers)
Several cost items to implement the Munibung Hill Management Plan cannot currently be determined, because additional studies and reviews are required before capital works can commence. Ongoing feasibility review will provide clear evidence of the costs and benefits of improving recreational access to Munibung Hill.
EM3
Use funds from the Glendale Contributions Plan and relevant State Government grant programs to meet capital costs wherever feasible.
Developer contributions from new development in the North West Growth Area and catalyst area can be used to augment recreational facilities to meet the needs of a growing community. Council will continue to monitor grant opportunities across community development and regional development portfolios.
