Bathurst Town Centre Masterplan Consultation Sessions

MEDIA RELEASE 25 February 2020

Consultation sessions to learn about the community’s vision for Bathurst Town Centre will be on Tuesday, 10 March.

Community members are invited to attend drop-in engagement sessions to discuss their vision with Council’s consultants.

In September last year, Council and Charles Sturt University entered discussions to formulate a plan to strengthen Bathurst’s position as a regional education hub, including through a potential Charles Sturt University presence in the CBD. The aim of the Master Plan to is to provide a strategy to strengthen the historic Bathurst Town Centre as the regional business and cultural hub of the city in an era of significant retail change.

Mayor Bobby Bourke encouraged the community to attend the sessions for their chance to contribute to this important project.

“I invite everyone to attend the drop-in engagement sessions to discuss their vision. A brief presentation will be held at the beginning of each session followed by individual and group discussions,” he said.
