New shared pathway project at Bingil Bay completed

CASSOWARY COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL

COMPLETION of a shared pathway now connects the popular Bingil Bay foreshore and beach area to Bingil Bay Café.

This new shared pathway is 1.6 metres wide on deco gravel material which provides a safe off-road space for pedestrians and cyclists.

Through community consultation, residents advised Council they wanted the final design to fit in with the natural beauty of the area.

A collaboration between CCRC and the Bingil Bay community collaborated ensured the pathway kept in with the surrounding environment, with minimal impacts on existing vegetation.

The project outcome demonstrated the value of connection with the local community to ensure incorporation of their feedback into the delivery of CCRC projects.

On April 28, the Bingil Bay community held a barbeque event to celebrate the project and thank all involved.

Community members thanked the Australian Government, CCRC, and community members for their contributions to making the pathway a success.

CCRC wanted to thank all the community members who showed their support and patience throughout the extensive planning and construction process.
