Bathers Way, King Edward Park

Bathers Way, King Edward Park is the section of Bathers Way between Strzelecki Lookout and King Edward Park.

Development of the renewed concept design

We have been working with the Bathers Way, King Edward Park Community Reference Group (CRG) to help inform planned upgrades to the section of the Bathers Way that runs through King Edward Park. This section will extend from previous works at The Terrace car park, through King Edward Park, connecting to Shortland Esplanade and South Newcastle Beach.

Community consultation

An early draft of the concept design was presented to the CRG in August 2023 to help inform further design. Refined concepts were then presented to the broader community to have their say between 17 June and 5 August 2024, visit the Have Your Say page to find out more. The CRG provided further feedback on the refined concepts on 31 July 2024.
