Have your say - Landscaping Plan

In consultation with the Shoalhaven Heads Botanic Gardens, a concept landscaping plan has been developed. Through the landscaping of the path, we seek to provide garden beds that complement the nearby botanic gardens and aesthetically enhance the path with functional barriers between motorized and pedestrian traffic. These goals link in with the project's main objectives to provide safe path for pedestrians while promoting active lifestyles in our communities.

The proposed plan has 3 areas for garden beds similar to those in the botanic gardens. These include shrubs and grasses no more than 1 metre high giving the path some points of interest for those wandering along the foreshore.

Along the length of the path, particularly where the path and road are in closer proximity, barriers of sandstone boulders or bollards will be placed to create a safer environment for cyclists and pedestrians. These will be supplemented by more native plants that are low-growing. Examples of what these may look like are included in the Shared User Path Landscape Plan published in the 'Document Library' on this web page.

Council is seeking community feedback on the plan. Please complete the Online Survey and provide your input by Wednesday, 8 May 2024.

If objections are raised, please provide some information on what alternatives you would suggest that would uphold the project objectives.
