Central Coast Council in New South Wales is seeking feedback on the final stage of the Tuggerawong Shared Pathway.
The pathway is a key active transport project in the Central Coast region. Stage 5 proposes a 1.45km shared path along the Tuggerah Lake foreshore from Palmer Street to Don Small Oval.
Once complete, it will form part of a scenic route around the lake and enable greater access to local schools, parks, shops and recreational areas.
Stage 5 is the final phase of the popular project, with Stages 1 through 4 already embraced by locals. During previous consultation, 87% of stakeholders supported the proposed foreshore route for Stage 5.
The project is funded through a combination of council developer contributions and $1.5 million in federal funding.
Council is encouraging residents, community groups, visitors and other stakeholders to share their views.
Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the project was a key part of the 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," he said.
"I encourage everyone to view the proposed design and have their say."
Community members can attend a drop-in session on Tuesday 3 June from 3pm to 7.30pm at Wyongah Progress Hall, 159A Tuggerawong Road, to ask questions and speak directly with council staff.
