Tract gets nod to develop recreation master plan for Carbonear

The Town of Carbonear has hired Tract Consulting Inc. to prepare a Recreation Master Plan to guide future planning, spending and development of recreation activities and facilities in the town.

The plan will enable council to continue to offer residents a diverse range of recreational opportunities, ensuring a high quality of life for Carbonear residents, said Mayor Franck Butt.

Tract will consult with residents, user groups and other people in the Town interested in recreation to create a master plan that is financially viable, relevant, comprehensive, and inclusive for all members of the community, Butt added. The company will review existing programs and infrastructure and identify trends and opportunities specific to Carbonear. It will consider the need for increased opportunities for leisure and wellness activities for all ages.

“The master plan will ensure the town continues to be a place where people want to live and play,” said the mayor. “It will enable the Town to build upon its many attributes and strengths, and to realize opportunities for the long-term provision of services and facilities that meet the needs of all residents. We look forward to engaging residents and stakeholders in the development of a plan tailored to the needs of our growing community.”

Butt said the plan will be completed next year.
