2010

  • East Cliff Road Footpath Stage Two: A wider footpath, fencing, lighting and new stairs were added between Georges Place and North Beach, supported with $2.9 million grant funding through the Australian Government’s Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.
  • Flagstaff Hill Walk: A path, seats and viewing deck were built. The design and construction of this job were supported by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW). Council also received a grant of $257,000 from the NSW State Government’s Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water’s Coastal Management Program towards the Flagstaff Hill Walk.
  • Cliff Road Upgrades outside Novotel Northbeach: New parking spaces and traffic calming features were added to make the area in front of the Novotel more pedestrian-friendly. We received a $40,000 grant from the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTS - now called Transport for NSW) towards this work. RTA also provided an additional $50,000 to help us install speed cushions along Cliff Road towards the harbour.
