Lake Macquarie City Council is seeking community feedback regarding the future of Awaba House, which suffered fire damage in August.

Council's manager property and business development David Antcliff said the Awaba House Revitalisation Community Reference Group (CRG) had been working with council to develop options for the site.

"Awaba House has an intrinsic connection with the Lake Macquarie community so it's important we get this right," he said.

"The CRG has agreed on a number of proposed uses and options for Awaba House that warrant further investigation, and we are ready to hear from the wider community what they think.

"This will help shed light on whether we're on the right track."

With the help of planning experts, the CRP anc council officers will also be looking at the site's future through the lens of council's sustainability policy.

"We want to ensure that any decision we make for the site considers the needs of current and future generations of Lake Macquarie City," Mr Antcliff said.

Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser encouraged the community to share their views.

"Awaba House was a much-loved local venue for people to enjoy a coffee or a meal in a wonderful lakeside setting," she said.

"This venue holds a special place in the hearts of many people in our community celebrating weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions.

"I strongly encourage anyone in our community with an interest in Awaba House to complete the online survey."
