Get ready for even better accessibility to one of the best spots on the Central Coast because a mammoth $430,000 upgrade has been announced for Crackneck Lookout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be something for everyone under the concept designs announced, with new and improved seating and picnic areas, new shaded areas, accessible parking spaces and better pedestrian connectivity between the carpark and The Coast Walking Track all set to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast and Member for Terrigal confirmed the upgrade, saying the much-needed upgrade reinforces the popularity of the lookout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has proven that Crackneck Lookout and the surrounding Wyrrabalong National Park is one of the Central Coast\u2019s most popular destinations,\u201d Mr Crouch said,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has developed the concept plan and will deliver the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNPWS has developed a concept plan for Crackneck Lookout which responds to the community\u2019s desire for improved access, parking and open space. The proposed works will address congestion issues, increase capacity and enhance accessibility,\u201d Mr Crouch said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI encourage everyone who lives in Bateau Bay or regularly visits Crackneck Lookout to get involved by viewing the concept plan and having a say on the proposed works.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The upgrade to Crackneck Lookout will join the recently completed upgrade to The Coast Walking Track, which has just re-opened to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feedback on the upgrade to Crackneck Lookout will be accepted until Friday, 15 October. To obtain a copy of the concept plan and to submit feedback, email here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
