1.3 Other Relevant Land Holdings
Under previous master planning process the lands west of the railway were part of a larger study area
known as the Harbourside Precinct. The lands west of the railway are now the subject of separate
planning efforts by Coffs Harbour City Council (Council). However it is acknowledged that the planning
and development of these adjoining areas should occur in a way that creates synergy with the Jetty
Foreshores precinct.
Within the area east of the railway there are a number of land holdings that are not Crown land, and not
under the control of Lands, but are relevant to the planning and management of the area as a whole.
These are also indicated on Figure 3 and include:
A. Australian Rail Track Corporation
Lands owned by Rail Infrastructure Corporation (formerly State Rail Authority) and leased to the
Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) as part of a bilateral agreement between Federal and State
Governments to support rail infrastructure maintenance and development programs.

Muttonbird Island is managed as Nature Reserve under the National Parks Act. The site is a very
prominent part of the Coffs Coast landscape and is of international ecological significance. The island is
recognised as having high cultural significance to the Aboriginal community. It is a major destination for
residents and visitors and pedestrian access is available to the public along the northern breakwater.
