Following protracted negotiations and delay, the funding agreement for the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program funding was signed by Council this week. With the agreement now executed, the project may commence. The concepts completed through Council’s extensive community consultation will now undergo full design and engineering. This is an extensive process, which Council is committed to getting right. It will ensure a facility that stands the test of time, in a challenging coastal environment, and remains an inclusive community facility to be enjoyed by all for generations to come.

Like any coastal infrastructure project, actual construction is reliant on suitable weather conditions and may be subject to change. The estimated timeline for delivery of the project is provided below.
