🌿 DRAFT CAMP CREEK MASTER PLAN 🌿

We invite the community to review Council’s Draft Camp Creek Master Plan and provide feedback on the future of this important natural corridor.

This draft plan has been developed with input from environmental groups, specialists and key stakeholders, who we thank for their valuable contributions throughout the process. Now it’s your turn to give us your thoughts 👇

We are seeking feedback on:
🌱 Habitat protection and sensitive environmental areas
🚶 Walking trails and community access connections
🌳 Native planting, revegetation and shade opportunities
💧 Stormwater, drainage and litter issues
📖 Education, signage and local stories or wildlife information
⭐ Which actions and improvements should be prioritised first

📌Why is this plan important?
Camp Creek is a small but ecologically significant waterway that provides important habitat, improves environmental health and offers valuable recreational and community connections.

📅 Feedback closes 21 June 2026.

🌿 Another Community Vision Brought to Life 🌿

You may remember as part of the Waratah Community Plan, Council delivered new outdoor community infrastructure projects, including the Saunders Street Playground, the Waterfalls Viewing Platforms and the Railway Bridge Viewing Platform.

The latest project to be completed is the Railway Siding Park.

The transformation of this space was a direct response to community feedback, with residents identifying the area as an opportunity for improvement and renewal. The revitalised reserve now features:
• Native plantings
• Interpretive signage
• Accessible pathways
• Seating and gathering spaces

The signage provides both locals and visitors with insights into the area's history and environment, helping to spark conversation and deepen appreciation of Waratah's unique landscape.

Have you visited the new Railway Siding Park yet? We'd love to hear what you think!

🌟 Business Spotlight: Little Sisters General Store 🌟

As part of our commitment to connecting with and supporting local businesses, we recently visited Little Sisters General Store in Sisters Beach to hear the story behind this thriving local business.

For owners Luke and Emily, Little Sisters is about more than coffee, food and live music. It's about creating a lifestyle where work, family and community come together. Alongside raising their two children in a close-knit coastal community, they've built a business that has become a gathering place for locals and visitors alike.

From regular live music events to supporting local employment and welcoming tourists to the region, Little Sisters showcases what makes Waratah-Wynyard such a special place to live, work, play and invest. Their story highlights the opportunities that exist in regional Tasmania for those looking to build a business while enjoying an enviable lifestyle by the coast.

We're proud to celebrate the businesses that help shape the character, economy and community spirit of our region.
