2.1 A Vision for Munibung Hill

The vision for Munibung Hill translates the Lake Macquarie City Vision (as defined in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) and Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS)) to the specific natural (environmental), cultural and social values of the Hill and its context.

The vision statement encompasses the value of future conservation, recreation, and tourism and how these contribute to a sense of place, liveability, and wellbeing for the community.

Understanding of these values and their significance is based on a review of existing planning documents and consultation with stakeholders during the development of the Context, Values and Constraints Report (Umwelt 2021a) and the Concept Plan (Umwelt 2021d). Community input is documented in the Engagement Report (Umwelt 2021b).

Table 2.1 shows the relationship of Munibung Hill values to the city-wide values articulated in the CSP and LSPS.
