MidCoast Council
MidCoast Council will further extend the popular Pelican Boardwalk on Memorial Drive at Forster.
A new 80 metre section of boardwalk will provide an over-water experience heading east towards the Red Spot boat shed.
Council has awarded the construction tender to GPM Marine Constructions.
Some preliminary activity will start on Monday 9 March. On-site construction is due to begin from Monday 16 March. Works should finish by late June 2026.
Council's Executive Manager Public Spaces, Liam Bulley, said "this new section of boardwalk will be a welcome addition to the boardwalk and kayak launching platform that opened late last year".
"It was great to see so many locals and visitors to the area enjoying the new suspended boardwalk over the Christmas holidays."
The current work includes extending the suspended boardwalk. Balustrades will be built along both sides of the structure. Provision will be made for a public pump-out system.
Contractors will work to minimise noise and inconvenience to the public during the works.
The recently completed section of Pelican Boardwalk is now open for public access. A few finishing touches will complete that section soon. The boardwalk will remain open and accessible during those works.
The project is being delivered with funding support from the NSW Government's Regional Tourism Activation Fund Round Two.
