The concept plan for the revitalisation of the Stuarts Point Foreshore Reserve and Holiday Park aims to maximise recreational opportunities for residents and visitors to Stuarts Point within the public reserve area while allowing for the efficient and effective operation of the Holiday Park as a key local business.
Council received a grant from NSW Regional Growth - Environment and Tourism Fund and will match those funds bringing the investment in the Foreshore Reserve to $3.4 million.
That funding will deliver:
- New 2-lane boat ramp and car and trailer parking to improve river access for fishing and other boating activities
- Relocated fish cleaning table
- Expanded riverfront picnic and barbeque area
- New children's playground within the picnic area
- New foreshore pathways
- New public toilet facilities
- An outdoor stage for concerts and events
- Additional public car parking along a new access road
- New carpark at the footbridge with vehicle turnaround accessible parking
- New timber wharf/boardwalk along the riverbank at the head of the carpark
- New entrance, office and manager's residence for the Holiday Park including entry check-in bay and two-way entry/exit road
- A new amenity building for the northern part of the park
The concept plan also shows proposed but unfunded works to reconfigure the Holiday Park to deliver a stronger business opportunity.
The concept plan is now on public exhibition. Council will then review the feedback, make any adjustments and aim to have the concept plan adopted by May this year.
Work will commence by July 2019 on the boat ramp area, with the vision of having all the funded reserve improvements completed by Easter 2020.

Submissions close on Tuesday April 23.
