Update (30 Aug 2019)

Following last year’s consultation on the proposed design, we are currently working with consultants to ensure the updated plans consider community feedback received during consultation.

Key themes identified include:

• retention of street parking where possible
• handrails
• privacy and security
• potential impact to surf view-points at South Avalon.

What next?

Once we’ve finalised the revised design, residents along the path alignment will receive further notification, a copy of the revised design and an invitation to meet with the project team. The revised design will also be uploaded to this page.

What are the expected timeframes?

Due to the size of this section of the coast walk and to help minimise impacts, the project will be delivered in 3 stages subject to detailed design and funding (see below).

As part of the Northern Beaches Coast Walk, we’ve developed a draft concept plan aimed at improving access, safety and connectivity from Newport through to Avalon.

Proposed Design Plans (2018)

The proposed design includes a mixture of on-road cycleway, shared path, concrete pedestrian path and a section of elevated boardwalk.
