Central Coast Council is inviting the community to provide feedback on the final stage of the Tuggerawong Shared Pathway – a key project supporting active transport and connectivity in the region.

The concept design for Stage 5 of the pathway is now open for public comment and Council is encouraging residents, community groups and stakeholders to share their views.

Central Coast Council Director Infrastructure Services, Boris Bolgoff said community feedback has played a vital role in shaping the project so far.

“During previous consultation, 87% of stakeholders supported this foreshore route for Stage 5,” Mr Bolgoff said. 

“With full funding secured through Council developer contributions and an Australian Government funding commitment of $1.5 million, Council is pleased to be able to progress this $6.2 million project.”

Stage 5 proposes a 1.45-kilometre shared path along the Tuggerah Lake foreshore, stretching from Palmer Street to Don Small Oval.

Once completed, it will add to the scenic route around the lake, enhancing access to local schools, parks, shops and recreational areas. This marks the final phase of a well-supported project, with Stages 1-4 already embraced by locals.

Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the project is a key part of Council’s vision for a more liveable and connected region.

"It’s a Councillor priority to improve connectivity on our shared pathways and this project will make it safer and easier for people to walk, cycle and stay active, while completing another important link in the Tuggerah Lake loop,” Mayor McKinna said.

“I encourage everyone to view the proposed design and have their say on the Your Voice Our Coast website.”

Community members are also invited to attend a drop-in session on Tuesday 3 June to ask questions and speak one-on-one with Council staff.
