Shoalhaven City Council is replacing the pedestrian beach access infrastructure near the end of Chapman St, Callala Bay.
May 2026 Update - Council has resolved not to proceed with any of the tender submissions received due to timing and budget constraints. The project scope will be reviewed and refined, with a revised tender process anticipated early in the next financial year.
This project involves an upgrade of pedestrian beach access infrastructure to improve accessibility, public safety and reduce use impacts on the coastal environment.
The existing beach accessways near the end of Chapman St in Callala Bay is in a deteriorated and unusable condition. The proposed renewal/upgrade works will involve construction of a new access from Fibreglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) or similar material. A concept plan is provided in the Related Information section on this project page.
The outcomes of these works will improve pedestrian beach access from the pathway that runs along the Callala Point headland, meeting Councils obligations for management of safety, quality and amenities. The works will also result in a reduction of erosion risk and will assist to improve the natural resilence of the immediate coastal environment.
Council has a level of endorsed funding from NSW Public Works Authority through the Natural disaster recovery program to support the intended renewal works.
