Dark Corner carpark upgrade is completed

The Dark Corner carpark at Patonga has been upgraded.

The upgrade included resurfacing works, an increase in the number of parking spaces, new line markings for trailer parking and the installation of new furniture around the adjoining reserve.

Central Coast mayor Cr Lisa Matthews said she was pleased that the Council partnered with the NSW Government to deliver better access to the existing boat ramp.

"Thanks to funding from the NSW Government, we have been able to improve boating access and recreational facilities on the Hawkesbury River, which is popular with Patonga residents and visitors alike," Cr Matthews said.

The works commenced in May this year, with Transport for NSW providing $295,000 towards the construction of the new carpark including 15 new car-boat trailer spaces, disabled parking spaces and a boat rigging area.

The funding also provided new directional signage.
