Coastal Revitalisation
Newcastle has a spectacular coastline and we’re working on projects that will make sure it can be enjoyed now and into the future.
Our Coastal Revitalisation Program began in 2010 as part of a long term commitment to enhancing this natural resource.
One of the key projects is the Bathers Way, a 6km stairless coastal pathway that links Nobbys Beach in the north to Merewether in the south.
We're also working to:
- Improve access to the beach and coastal buildings
- Improve traffic and parking
- Manage cliff stabilisation
- Regenerate dunes
- Implement water-sensitive urban design initiatives to filter stormwater
- Deliver wayfinding signage and heritage interpretation.
There are projects in various stages of planning, design and construction, and community engagement is an important part of each one.
