Work begins on the Claypits Foreshore Upgrade Project from Monday 5 May 2025 at the Claypits carpark in Jindabyne, with stage one replacing the old dirt parking lot with a higher-capacity paved parking area that will improve access and provide greater parking capacity at the popular location.
The carpark upgrades have been designed above the high-water level of Lake Jindabyne (the Full Supply Level or FSL), ensuring protection from flooding. Access to the nearby waterfront and parklands will also be enhanced through a network of accessible paths, allowing more people to enjoy outdoor recreation, exercise, events, and time in nature.
| These works will impact public access to the Claypits and Lake Jindabyne foreshore. |
The Claypits carpark will be closed when work begins on Monday 5 May 2025, weather permitting. This closure will be in-place until early 2026 when the stage one upgrade works are complete. Events booked at the Claypits stage during this period will be relocated to other venues, and holes one and two of the Jindabyne disc-golf course will be closed. Access to some parts of the foreshore will be restricted while construction is underway, with alternative routes in-place for affected trails and shared pathways. Any tree removals required as part of this work will be replaced with new mature plantings. The landscaping plans for stage one will see the total number of mature trees in the precinct increase, not decrease, once the new carpark is complete. |
Plans are under consideration for the second stage of this project, however Council will need to seek additional funding for any further upgrades.
Detailed planning and feasibility assessment of the potential next stage will be undertaken once the current works are complete.
Regular updates and community impact notices will be shared with the community while work is underway.
