Extra Land for Community Use in Scone

THE Upper Hunter Shire Council are able to licence extra land on the corner of Wingen and Kingdon Street in Scone and are now asking the community how they might like to use it.

The land is located across the road from the Bill Rose Sports Complex and is split into two fenced-off sections on either side of the bypass.

So far, suggestions include; a community garden, a fenced off god-leash park, a skate park or an open space area, with Council stating there is enough room for two options.

Locals who wish to have their say over the potential land use are asked to provide Council with a written comment to the address below by Monday, November 16.
