A total of 11 submissions were received during the exhibition period and covered a wide range of topics and concerns.
Kerrie Green, from Gloucester, claimed the Gloucester Arts and Culture Council wasn't recognised in the plan in the same frame as the Manning Regional Art Gallery and Manning Entertainment Centre.
"The Manning Regional Art Gallery and Entertainment Centre are not the only arts outlets in the MidCoast Council which deliver programs of local and touring exhibitions and engage local schools and community groups," Kerrie wrote.
Council's growth, economic development and tourism manager Deb Tuckerman replied by saying council has supported the group since the 2016 amalgamation and they are part of the reference group used for a forthcoming cultural plan.
Submissions from Delyth Jeal and Chris Hutchison discussed advancements at Coomba Park such as the community precinct and tidal pool.
Responses in the report outlined how a footpath to link two sections of the village is on the horizon, pending funding. Should the condition of the tidal pool continue to deteriorate, community spaces, recreation and trades manager Dan Aldridge said it would become an impaired asset.
Allen Valentine of the Wingham Advancement Group sought clarification on points regarding volunteers, safe public spaces, pools and recreational facilities.
Mr Aldridge provided answers to these queries in the report.
Brock Smith, a representative of the Hunter Region Four Wheel Drive Council, discussed the 'untapped potential' of the four wheel drive tourism market in the MidCoast area.
Others submissions discussed specific aspects and the presentation of the operational plan, the roads network and pedestrian access, permits for vehicles on beaches.
At the July 8 ordinary council meeting, Cr Len Roberts pushed for all those who composed a submission to receive a letter or email which outlined how their ideas and suggestions were taken onboard.
He said many of the submissions covered areas people were interested in while others took a holistic approach.
"Many of the submissions did contain very good recommendations for us to take onboard and adjust our document now but also going into the future made suggestions on how we can make the whole process a little bit more user friendly," Cr Roberts said.
"I want to thank the residents and citizens who did make those submissions because I personally found them to be very helpful."
Two of the submissions influenced minor changes to the operational plan.
