Consultation has concluded

We know that our foreshore and recreation areas are really popular and well loved by our community, and visitors to the area. As part of our commitment to improving transport options and safe and easy access to these areas, we’d love to hear your thoughts on a couple of different projects that our transport team are developing.

Pedestrian and cycling safety in the Wollongong foreshore area

We want to make it easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists to get around the Wollongong foreshore area. We’re proposing some changes to some of the road infrastructure to do this, and make sure everyone can enjoy these spaces.

When Wollongong hosted the UCI Road World Championships in 2022, we had to make some changes to existing road infrastructure to create a safe race route. While some of this infrastructure has been reinstated across different suburbs, there is now an opportunity in the Wollongong foreshore area to enhance and improve function, access, and safety for everyone.

We’re looking to improve the infrastructure at key intersections and crossing areas to busy and popular recreation spaces across the Wollongong foreshore. These include around Stuart Park, along Cliff Road, Lang Park, and Flagstaff Hill. The proposed works will also enhance the walking and cycling connections across the whole area.

Foreshore parking management during summer

We’re also looking at different ways to address the high parking demands in really popular foreshore and recreation areas during summer, to make sure everyone can get to and enjoy these great spaces.

We’ve looked at some key locations across the Local Government Area (LGA) ncluding Stanwell Park; Austinmer; Wollongong; Bellambi and Port Kembla, where we can introduce some temporary measures this summer. These include things such as overflow parking; timed parking, and increased signage. These measures have been developed following best practice guidelines, considering traffic data, community feedback and what can be safely accommodated in the different locations.
