The Plantation Point accessible ramp and path to Nelsons Beach, in Vincentia, was completed this week.

The path works were undertaken by Council's Woollamia Construction Crew and funded by the Sustainable Tourism NSW Government Restart Grant program. The access Ramp was funded by the Stronger Country Community Fund Round 2.

Vincentia Ratepayers and Residents Association (VRRA) have commenced work on the community driven ‘Bocce Court’ project. The court will be located within Plantation Point Reserve - adjacent to the new picnic shelter, near the new playground.

Works are expected to be completed by the end of December 2021.

Shoalhaven City Council has released a preliminary design for an accessible beach access way ramp at Plantation Point, Vincentia, and would like your feedback.

Brief History

Initially, Barfleur Beach was the location identified for an accessible beach access way. Due to significant site constraints and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage matters, the location was shifted to Plantation Point, leading down to Nelson’s Beach.

The Design

After the initial consultation with local key community stakeholders, a suitable site location was identified.

The Proposed Site Location links up with the existing pathway along Plantation Point Parade, and is close in site to the existing car park, proposed playground and proposed amenity block. On the overall side plan provided, Zone D (green dotted line) is the proposed area for the access way boardwalk.

The Detailed Preliminary Site Plans and Concept Photos show the proposed location and design concept.

Please provide your feedback by 12:00 noon, Friday 18 December 2020.
