PORT Macquarie-Hastings mayor Peter Besseling and Federal Lyne MP Dr David Gillespie will officially open the new Kooloonbung Creek Footbridge and the improvements to Port Macquarie’s Town Beach Reserve on Wednesday 11 June.
The Kooloonbung Creek Footbridge is a 2.5 metre wide single-span cable-stay bridge on the Hastings River side of the Buller Street bridge.
The upgrade to Port Macquarie’s iconic Town Beach reserve consists of a new concrete path adjacent to the rock wall at the northern end of Town Beach, replacement of part of the existing path with coloured concrete, picnic shelters, park benches, garbage bin enclosures, tree planting, playground improvements and a new judging platform.
The footbridge opening will commence at 11.30am followed by the Town Beach Reserve at 12.30pm with speeches and a ribbon cutting at both sites.
