Project overview
The creation of a community and visitor foreshore hub for Eagle Point was a key project identified in the Eagle Point Structure Plan adopted by Council in 2019. The Eagle Point Foreshore Hub precinct was developed with the objective of creating a vibrant meeting point at the Eagle Point Foreshore, welcoming community and visitors alike.
Included in the project is a network of paths, landscaping, playground, formalised parking and a multipurpose facility, offering mixed-use community and commercial functions.
The drawings and images (in the Documents on the right) bring the concept to life, with these functions incorporated into the design:
Indoor/outdoor events space for community and commercial use
Caravan Park office and reception with convenience retail offering
Café with commercial kitchen to facilitate events at the precinct (an Expression of Interest will be conducted to determine use of commercial area prior to project completion)
Elevated outdoor deck and amphitheatre for events and casual outdoor seating
Potential for water sports hire (an Expression of Interest will be conducted to determine use of commercial area prior to project completion)
Toilet amenities available to the public and for events

Budget
This project is funded jointly by the Victorian Government’s Community Infrastructure Loans Scheme, Federal Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and Council.
Community consultation to date
Consultation with the Eagle Point community occurred in 2020 through online channels and in-person events where the opportunity was available to provide feedback on the concept plans.
This feedback showed support for the hub but did raise some concerns about the configuration of the relocated road and the impact of increased traffic on School Road. Council have reviewed the safety of the intersection and incorporated further safety improvements.
Further feedback was received that elements of the development were “inappropriate” to the Eagle Point area. The development of a community hub on the Eagle Point Foreshore is the result of two long-term plans for Eagle Point: The Eagle Point Structure Plan and the Eagle Point Marine and Coastal Management Plan. Both plans were developed with extensive community consultation, with the community indicating that the development of this hub was one of their highest priorities for Eagle Point. Care has been taken with the design to be as sympathetic to the Eagle Point rea as possible while still providing a great facility for our community.

Works at the Eagle Point Foreshore Hub are starting to take shape. Works on the new road and carpark, and construction of the new building are progressing well.
The existing toilet block is now due for demolition with new facilities incorporated in the new building. Council will provide some temporary toilets on the foreshore in the interim period until the new facility is open.
Works are currently on schedule for a September 2023 completion.

The project is now due to begin construction on 19 September 2022 and to be completed by mid2023. Throughout this time Council will work hard to provide minimal interruptions to the use of this area, however please note the following:
The existing roadway will close to traffic from 19 September 2022, however pedestrian access will remain until late January 2023
Works include realignment of the existing roadway from the foreshore, including new formalised parking and improvements where they connect to the School Road intersection
The existing toilet block will remain open until its demolition in late January 2023
Foreshore access will be restricted from late January 2023 where erosion mitigation works are planned, including beach nourishment south of the existing toilet block
Please stay tuned to the Your Say page for further updates as the construction progresses.
