Lawson Crown Lands Masterplan

The draft Masterplan covers the old Lawson Golf Course, the Lawson Cemetery, Lawson Dog Off Leash area, Lawson BMX track and the nearby oval.

You can lodge a submission until Thursday 18 April 2019. To do so, go to the council’s ‘have your say’ or email your submission to: council@bmcc.nsw.gov.au.
