If re-elected on May 3, the Labor Party will deliver $2.1M towards the construction of the Beaches Shared Pathway at Avoca Beach.
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid said the commitment would help fund the construction of a shared pathway from Round Dr, along Avoca Dr, to Heazlett Park.
The announcement follows Labor’s commitments to invest in infrastructure across the Central Coast, including a $115M upgrade for Terrigal Drive, $15M towards fixing intersections in Empire Bay and $1.8M to upgrade Ettalong Beach foreshore.
“Our community has campaigned hard to secure funding for a shared pathway in Avoca Beach,” Reid said.
“I am thrilled that we now have funding to get construction started on this exciting project.
“Over 1,500 people have signed our petition and this win is because of their support.
“I look forward to working with Central Coast Council to deliver this shared pathway; funding is now secured for all three stages of the project.”
Avoca Beach Community Association member Graham George-Davidson said Reid had listened to the community.
“He backed us from the beginning with valuable guidance and the petition, both of which have been instrumental,” George-Davidson said.
“This election commitment brings us one step closer to completing the final section of the shared pathway, from the Bowling Club all the way through to Heazlett Park.
“With Central Coast Council already delivering Stages 1 and 2, this final link will ensure that locals and visitors can safely walk or ride directly into Avoca.
“It’s a significant win for our community.”
Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
