Member for The Entrance, David Mehan, ecstatic about the progress being made to upgrade footpaths in his electorate.

14 August 2024

COUNCIL benefited from $8m grant funding over 4 years to fund footpath priority improvements across the Central Cost identified in Council’s Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (‘PAMP) and Bike Plan. This funding was part of Labor’s commitment to Active Transport during the 2023 state election.

The works will provide families across the Central Coast safe, high quality and well connected paths making communities more accessible for everyone.

The Entrance electorate secured $2.27m of this funding over four years that will see 10 footpaths with a total length of 1.93km updated (list attached).

Member for The Entrance, David Mehan said, “The projects that have been identified are in dire need of upgrade, a number of which have been the subject of community concern for some time now.

“Whether you’re a parent with a pram, an elderly person, a person with mobility challenges or a child walking to and from school these footpaths ensure that we can all move around safely and easily.

“I look forward to seeing the projects commence which will afford my community safe walking and cycling infrastructure whilst promoting active and healthy lifestyle of the outdoors.”
