More information
Work is being planned with public safety as a priority, with Council extremely mindful of peak holiday and tourism times and with the community, nearby residents and businesses, visitors to our region and dates of known community events near the area considered.
Work is planned to occur in stages to help minimise public disruptions.
During works, sections of the park will be temporarily fenced off for safety; however, public access will remain open to amenities and the remainder of the park with access to the beach maintained. At times, some carparking spaces may be unavailable.
Works update
Boardwalk renewal works have been taking shape with bearers and joists replaced and new decking boards installed in the stage one work area to Cook's Landing.
The Contractor is set to return to site on Monday 8 December aiming to complete and open the stage one work area by 19 December, weather permitting.

While works will incorporate the start of school holidays, public access will remain open to amenities, the remainder of the park and to the beach. Temporary fencing will remain in place around the work area and at times, some carparking spaces may be unavailable.
