Submissions on the draft master plan and review of environmental factors will now be accepted until 5pm on Tuesday, November 3.
"Public exhibition provides an important opportunity for the community and other stakeholders to have a say about the proposed Tomaree Coastal Walk and future visitor facility improvements in Tomaree National Park," National Parks and Wildlife Service director Kylie Yeend said.
"We value everyone's feedback. The extension will allow individuals and groups more opportunity to finalise and make a submission or make changes to submissions already lodged."
The NPWS project is set to deliver a spectacular 20 kilometre link between Tomaree Head and Birubi Point.
"The Tomaree Coastal Walk will cater for a range of immersive, nature-based visitor experiences from short walks to half-day and overnight options rich in Worimi culture, historic heritage and natural wonders, providing opportunities for tourism partnerships," NPWS previously told the Examiner.
"The plan provides an overview and conceptual designs for the walk project with maps of the indicative 20km walking track route connecting Tomaree Head to Birubi Point.
"There are also proposals for supporting initiatives and facility upgrades to enhance the experience, improve visitor management and meet future visitation demands. This includes proposed upgrades, concept designs and artist impressions for the Tomaree Head, Box Beach, Big Rocky and Iris Moore precincts.
"Improvements may include new and upgraded walking tracks, viewing platforms, parking, interpretation, amenities and other visitor facilities."
Submissions were originally due to close on October 20.
