Lancelin Foreshore Redevelopment Set to go Ahead

Published on Tuesday, 16 February 2021 at 10:51:56 AM

The redevelopment of the Lancelin Foreshore has been a long time coming. However, Council has now taken delivery of the proposed draft plans for this exciting project which will include:

Major upgrades to the existing car parking adjacent to Grace Darling Park and along Cunliffe St
A new adjoining boardwalk and gazebo
Disability access to gazeebo
Provision of increased lawn area
Revegetation in the vicinity of Hopkins St
New footpaths throughout the area
Sand renourishment
Improved Hopkins St road surface and drainage

These plans are essentially the same as previous designs created after public consultation in previous years. The design has undergone several revisions during the past 4 years (given coastal erosion concerns) but with Council’s decision last year to retain public access to Edward Island Point, the draft designs consequently reflect what was originally requested through public consultation.

The public is welcome to provide feedback on these draft plans up until 4pm, 28 February 2021. Your feedback can be submitted by clicking here.

Following the closure of the feedback period, the draft plans will be presented to Council at a Council Meeting for formal adoption and then tenders will be invited for the construction of the Lancelin Foreshore Redevelopment.
