Work began on major parking and pedestrian infrastructure upgrades in Jindabyne's Claypits precinct in May 2025. Crews have completed almost all of the site preparation works since our last project update in June, which means the new construction phase of the project will soon begin.

The massive efforts of our contractors and their teams over the past several months have kept this project on-track and running to schedule, despite the challenging winter weather conditions. Community members and visitors can get ready to enjoy the upgraded Claypits from early 2026.
