New stairs and pedestrian lane at Cudgen Creek foreshore

12 December 2023

You may have noticed some changes around the Cudgen Creek foreshore at Kingscliff.

A pedestrian lane along the creek edge of Faulks Park has been reinstated and a set of stairs entering into the creek adjacent to the boat ramp will soon be installed, providing a new and safe access to enjoy the creek.

Changes were required due to safety concerns between pedestrians, swimmers, vehicles, boats and bicycles in this area that has become increasingly busy.

Some parking spaces along the creek edge have been removed during this trial due to the reinstatement of the pedestrian lane, however, keeping our community safe is critical.

The concrete slab for the stairs will be poured early next week, following that, the stairs will be installed between 18 and 21 December, just in time for Christmas (weather permitting).

Access to the boat ramp will be unaffected during the works.

This project has been agreed upon in consultation with stakeholders including the Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association Inc (KRAPA), and other relevant stakeholders, including the Kingscliff Chamber of Commerce. 

A full audit of the area will be undertaken during the peak tourism period. 

Council appreciates the patience of the community while this important work is completed.
