About the project

Council has gained Commonwealth funding $615,000 under the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program for proposed improvements to the Conjola Park foreshore.

The project involves:

  • Replacing the existing timber jetty south of the boat ramp on Valley Drive with a composite fibre (FRP) jetty, gangway and floating pontoon structure.
  • Constructing a 2m wide shared user path (SUP), connecting the jetty to the existing footpath on Hoylake Grove Reserve and to the boat ramp on Valley Drive.

A second stage is planned but currently unfunded and involves:

  • Constructing a 30m long, 2.4m wide FRP kayak launching facility at the southern end of the Hoylake Grove Reserve, serviceable for all tidal planes.
  • Constructing a 2m wide shared user path (SUP), connecting the kayak launching facility to the existing footpath on Hoylake Grove Reserve.

For further details please refer to the Stage 1 and Stage 2 concept plans in the Document Library on the Conjola Improvements Get Involved web page.
