The $2.7m upgrade of South Beach Road in Brunswick Heads is in its final week of works and is looking spectacular!

The upgrade, which began in early February this year, delivers a brand-new road for the popular foreshore area in Brunswick Heads, as well as Torakina beach car park.

Council also took up the opportunity to complete much-needed road resealing works on South Beach Lane. The first coat seal was completed last week, and with the final coat deferred to warmer weather (due to the type of seal).

“The reconstruction of South Beach Road has been a huge job and we’re proud to be delivering this beautiful, smooth road on time and budget, thanks to the expertise of our Council teams and funding from the NSW Government ($1m as part of the $25m Election

Commitment Grant program), $500k from the Roads to Recovery program (Australian Government), and the remaining $1.2m from Byron Shire Council,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Services Phil Holloway said.

“We’ve been clear from the start about the scope of works for this road upgrade and what we could deliver within the budget. The funding for this road project could only go so far.”

“Future works could include a range of staged improvements for the area, such as footpaths, bollards, additional parking, pedestrian crossings, street and public space lighting and toilet upgrades,” Mr Holloway said.

“Further upgrades in the area will need to be developed in consultation with Crown Lands, Native Title owners and Community, and will need grant funding,” he said.
