Port Stephens duty MLC Catherine Cusack announced on Friday that Port Stephens Council had been successful in its funding application to the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund to install a shared pathway and cycleway in the Raymond Terrace park.
“This is a critical piece of the puzzle for Boomerang Park,” Port Stephens Deputy Mayor Sarah Smith said.
“Over the past few years Port Stephens Council made significant investments to create a public space that caters for everyone.
“This grant will help more people to enjoy all of the wonderful new facilities that Boomerang Parkhas to offer, which is a great result for our community.”
The $600,000 will be used to construct a 2.5 metre-wide shared pathway in the park, connecting the residential areas in the south and north-east.
The project will also include the establishment of formal entry points to the park, as well as bike racks, signage, landscaping and solar lights along the network of the path.
