The State Government has begun construction on Coast Park Stage One along the coastline of Semaphore Park and West Lakes Shore in an important milestone in the project.
This stage focuses on a 1.3 kilometre shared-use path between Third Avenue, Semaphore Park and Wara Wayingga-Tennyson Dunes Conservation Reserve.
The pathway will provide safe and convenient access for people of all ages and abilities to walk, cycle and enjoy our beautiful coastline.
The final design considered community and stakeholder feedback and sought to minimise the impact on the dune system, native vegetation and local fauna, while maximising community benefit and reducing effects on neighbouring properties.
State Government Treasurer Stephen Mullighan MP announced on Friday 19 May that construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, weather permitting.
“We have some of the most beautiful beaches in South Australia, and we look forward to this last section of Coast Park being constructed,” City of Charles Sturt Mayor Angela Evans shared.
“The City of Charles Sturt Council has been involved in the design of this last section of Coast Park to ensure it meets our community's needs.
“We welcome the State Government's extensive work in providing a link along our coast for all to enjoy.”
Stage Two of the Coast Park, which will run from Grange to Tennyson, is currently in the design phase in consultation with stakeholders.
The completed Coast Park project aims to improve community access and enjoyment of our beaches with the establishment of a continuous 70 kilometre shared use path along the metropolitan coastline.
