Background
Between 21 November to 28 February 2017, Council undertook a community consultation process for the draft coastal pathway master plan. More than 2000 submissions were received from the community.
The coastal pathway linear open space master plan was adopted at council’s ordinary meeting 7 December 2017 and aims to guide council in expanding on existing pathways to improve access to these iconic views, beaches and parks.
The consultation process and summary of key findings can be viewed on the coastal pathway linear open space master plan community consultation summary report.
