Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Consultation has concluded

The importance of the city foreshore as a unique recreational and tourism precinct has been acknowledged in Council's priorities for many years. A series of improvement projects have been planned for or have recently been undertaken in Stuart Park. Council has recently upgraded the children’s playground and parking and is proposing to relocate the existing Stuart Park amenities. Other works taking place in the Stuart Park precinct in 2016 include further upgrades to parking, pedestrian/cycle access and constructing an elevated boardwalk.

In JP Galvin Park, which sits between Stuart Park and the beach dunes, Council is proposing to replace seven picnic shelters which have deteriorated in the harsh coastal environment. As well as replacing the ageing shelters, plans include the creation of a pathway to three of the shelters closest to the car park, and an extension of the footpath along the edge of the car park

We're inviting the community to provide feedback on the proposed upgrades until 16 November 2015.

You can comment using the survey below or the form in the Documents Library, or pick up a feedback form from Wollongong Central Library, or our Customer Service Centre at 41 Burelli Street, Wollongong.

Council will consider all community feedback submitted during the exhibition, before finalising the design of the shelters and footpath. Additionally, you can provide feedback on the elevated boardwalk project by clicking the link here.

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    Wollongong City Council is pleased to announce that works will commence on the JP Galvin Park footpath south. The new JP Galvin Park footpath will extend from the entrance to Stuart Park central carpark, south to the existing North Beach pathway. The footpath was proposed as part of the Stuart Park Precinct Pedestrian Safety Improvements and Additional Parking project in 2014. The project can be viewed here.

    Council is currently exhibiting the proposed northern extension of the southern footpath. The extension will link to the Stuart Park children's playground carpark and to the proposed upgraded JP Galvin Park picnic shelters. The proposed extension forms part of the JP Galvin Park Upgrades project and is on public exhibition until 16 November 2015.
