About the project
To date the pathway has been largely constructed through volunteers of these communities. The existing shared concrete pathway runs from Tingira Drive along the eastern side of Murramarang Road to the Racecourse Beach (Sandmines) carpark for nearly 3kms and also from Scerri Drive in Kioloa to Kioloa Caravan Park; almost to 1km. The ‘missing link’ between these two sections of path is approximately 3.2km. This has been split into 3 sections as described below.
This project will link the 2 communities of Bawley Point and Kioloa, providing local residents and tourists with a safe walking/cycling route for exercise, access to the village shops, beaches and holiday and caravan parks.
Section 1 - Racecourse Beach Nth Access Carpark to Tasman Holiday Parks Racecourse Beach
This section involves construction of a 2.0m wide Shared User Path (SUP) extending the existing SUP (currently terminating at the Racecourse Beach access carpark) for 1.0km until the Tasman Holiday Parks, Racecourse Beach.
Council has received $300,000 under the Australian Government’s Community Development Grants program towards this section of the path.
Construction of this section of path was completed in October 2022.
Section 2 - Tasman Holiday Parks Racecourse Beach to Shelly Beach Access Carpark
This section will take the path from the Tasman Holiday Parks, Racecourse Beach to the Shelly Beach access Carpark.
Refer to the related documents for the construction plans of this section of path.
Council is currently seeking grant funding opportunities for this section.
Section 3 - Shelly Beach Access Carpark to O’Brien St Intersection
This section will take the path from the Shelly Beach access carpark for approximately 1.2km to join up with the existing path at the O’Brien Street intersection, Kioloa.
The preliminary design for this portion of the pathway can be viewed in the related documents.
Council is currently seeking grant funding opportunities for design finalisation and construction of this section.
