Work set to commence on Kennedy Drive Boat Ramp

23 February 2018

Improvements will address drainage, safety and parking issues

Council is preparing to undertake works at the Kennedy Drive Boat Ramp over the next three weeks.

The project will consist of improving the drainage and surface condition of the popular facility and will also improve trailer parking and circulation on the site.

Council Project Officer Matt Lee said the work has been timed to coincide with the conclusion of the peak summer boating period.

“While these works are being completed we will also be installing new bollards and clearly defining parking areas to improve public safety,” Mr Lee said.

“A chicane will also be installed in the cycleway prior to crossing the head of the boat ramp to increase awareness of other vehicles.

“Council will work to limit inconvenience over the duration of the project, however it is likely that there will be disruptions to the normal operation of the site.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to delivering an improved facility for the general community.”

Mr Lee said during the project recreational boaters and fishers are encouraged are encouraged to use alternative facilities with the Fingal New Boat Harbour the closest option.

These works are funded by the State Government’s NSW Boating Now Program to support initiatives that enhance the boating experience in NSW, including the delivery of recreational boating infrastructure across NSW waterways.
