About the project

We have been working on improvements to the Forster Tuncurry Foreshore Walk over the past few years, with funding from the Australian Government's Local Roads, Community and Infrastructure Grants helping to replace the deteriorated timber decking in the existing boardwalk back in 2022.

We have also recently completed a new low-level landing to provide safe, ramped access into the water for the community for swimming and paddleboarding. A new kyack launch system will also be added as part of the upcoming works.

The new section of boardwalk will be fully accessible to all ages and abilities and will provide an excellent vantage point for water-based sports and other major events throughout the year.

Interpretive signage will provide information on the cultural significance of the site, the ecological values of the waterways and the history of the area.

Note: Expect restricted access to various locations on both Forster and Tuncurry foreshores during construction. This will include the sand beach access to the Breckenridge Channel, and access to parts of John Holland Park, the gravel car park on Point Road at Tuncurry boat ramp and the Memorial Drive foreshore area.
