We're excited the next stage of the Grand Pacific Walk is ready to be shared with our Coledale community.
The Grand Pacific Walk is all about creating a safe, scenic route for walkers and cyclists along the stunning 60km stretch of Wollongong’s coastline, from the Royal National Park in the north all the way down to Lake Illawarra in the south.
This next section of the project is about creating connections from Austinmer to Coledale. These connections make our shared pathways safer and more accessible for our community. This project will start from the northern end of Sharky Beach car park and run south to Headland Avenue - about 1km in length. The project plans include:
Extending and improving shared paths links
Upgrading and formalising the Sharky Beach car park
Reinstating the bus shelter
Creating a new path through the eastern side of Sharky Beach car park
Wayfinding signage
Improved amenities.
We want to find out from our community if there is anything we need to consider with the current plans before we start construction.
Attending in-person: Sharky Beach Pop Up on Saturday 21 February from 9am - 11am. We'll be set up in the carpark at Sharky Beach - 770 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Coledale. (This will be weather dependent).
