The section of the Grand Pacific Walk between Coalcliff and Stanwell Park is now finished. This was a challenging area with steep, narrow roads. Many sections had no existing pathways for pedestrians or cyclists.

There were four main parts to these works:

  1. Stoney Creek to Coalcliff Station. Work in this area included pedestrian safety upgrades around the station, removal of a sharp curve in the road for sight lines, and a new bus bay and pedestrian refuge. A new pedestrian bridge was also built over Stoney Creek.
  2. Coalcliff Station to Lower Coast Road. We created a new shared path, bridges over the crossing creeks, and a spectacular new boardwalk and ramp to make the most of ocean views.
  3. Lower Coast Road and Murrawal Road to Lawrence Hargrave Drive. A new footpath was built along the full length of the road, and we added on-road cycle facilities.
  4. Murrawal Road and Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Station Street, Stanwell Park. We replaced the narrow footpath with a full width shared path and safety rails. We also added paving, a pedestrian crossing, more parking, and directional and heritage signs at Stanwell Park.
