The Public Domain Plan is an exciting new vision for the Bay, highlighting streets that prioritise people, a greener town centre and more spaces for the community to enjoy.
Twelve months on from the initial consultation, the plan is being released for public exhibition and community feedback, starting February 28.
Mayor Ryan Palmer said the time was right for Nelson Bay to leap forward into its next chapter.
"This plan proposes three big moves to achieve the community's vision over the next 20 years," Cr Palmer said.
"Our first move is to add more street trees in the town centre and create better connections to the foreshore and Tomaree National Park.
"We also want to have a town centre that is people-friendly, so that it’s easier to walk or ride your bike around town, and finally, we want to create more high quality spaces for our locals and tourists to enjoy night and day, year-round."
Mayor Palmer said the council had received funding from the NSW Government to develop the plan.
