Meeting soon on Morisset Country Club future
LAKE Macquarie MP Greg Piper said he expected plans for the future of the Morisset Country Club site to be revealed soon.

"There is currently no development or rezoning application lodged with Lake Macquarie City Council, so we'll have to wait until the new owner's intentions are known before we know what the future holds for this very important local site."
