Church Point Reserve Foreshore Walkway

The existing informal walkway from Bennett’s Beach (eastern end of Church Point Reserve Car Park) along the foreshore to the Pasadena (western end) is not safe for pedestrians because of the uneven surface caused by tree roots. This causes some pedestrians to walk through the Car Park putting them at risk.

On 15 January 2024 the Senior Asset Management Officer from Council’s Park Assets advised that the Church Point Reserve Foreshore Walkway does not form part of the current  Thomas Stephens Reserve upgrade program which is being undertaken in 2024 and 2025.

Update

At the BCPRA monthly meeting held on 1 August 2024 the Council representative acknowledged that the walkway around the external perimeter of the Church Point Reserve (Car Park) needed to be upgraded as a priority to improve pedestrian access along the foreshore.  

The Foreshore Walkway upgrade is not scheduled until 2026-27 under the Council’s “Reserves Pathway and Lighting Program”.
