• Please note, the nearest accessible park for Option 3 will be out front of REAL
• We are currently seeking quotes for footpath works and traffic calming measures in Morris Street. These works will take place outside of holiday season

  These works include:
  • Better linkages between existing and new attractions (12 Apostles Trail and suspension bridge)
  • Pedestrianisation of town centre including major road upgrades
  • Feature pavements, stone and timber seating, phone charging stations and street furniture upgrades
  • Decking under Norfolk Island pines
  • Increased accessibility to both the foreshore and businesses
  • New parking and walking options
  • New bus parking area
  • Integrated artworks by Dr Vicki Couzens
