Reid announces $1.8M for Ettalong foreshore
Labor Government would put $1.8 million towards "an upgrade of the Barrenjoey and Umina pathway on the Ettalong foreshore", Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid announced last week.
He said the election commitment would also go towards beach and sand rejuvenation to address erosion as well as community seating.
"The project will support the extension of the pathway to Ocean Beach Surf Club, connecting Ettalong and Umina via shared pathways and improving access to the foreshore for parents with prams and those with mobility restraints," he said.
Dr Reid said the announcement followed more than a year of his advocacy, with more than 850 people signing the petition calling for upgrades on the Ettalong foreshore.
"Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth grants rules and principles."
Dr Reid said: "The Ettalong Foreshore is a beautiful part of the world, and I'm so pleased that this election commitment will make it easier for people to access.
"This is a fantastic result for our community, who have heavily advocated for this project.
"I'd like to thank the more than 850 locals who have signed the petition, as well as the Ettalong Diggers for their advocacy along the way."
