Pathway width

The new section of the Surf Parade Shared Path between Ozone Street and Goroke Street will be constructed at 2 metres wide, compared with the 2.5-metre width of previous sections.

The 2-metre width has been adopted to make the best use of the available road reserve while allowing for a possible future stage of the project to provide car parking and maintain two-way traffic on Surf Parade. Council is continuing feasibility, design and costing work for this future stage.

The 2-metre pathway meets applicable shared pathway standards and will provide a safe and connected link between the existing Surf Parade path and the Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club.

The narrower width also recognises the physical constraints along this section of Surf Parade, including the adjoining coastal reserve, where vegetation removal or encroachment into the reserve is not possible to accommodate the pathway.

Funding in the amount of:

Bass Coast Shire Council - $482k Growing Suburbs Fund - $308k Total - $790,000.00
