The development of a foreshore trail at Eagle Point was identified in the Eagle Point Structure Plan and Eagle Point Foreshore Marine and Coastal Management Plan in November 2019. A draft concept plan for the upgrade and extension of the Eagle Point foreshore trail has been developed, with the proposed trail located within the Eagle Point Foreshore Reserve which is managed by East Gippsland Shire Council.

Objective and Scope

The proposed project will enhance the Eagle Point foreshore trail by connecting existing fragmented sections of trail and improve accessibility to meet the needs of the Eagle Point community. In addition, the project will increase safety by reducing the number of pedestrians and cyclists on Bay Road through providing an active transport connection between Paynesville and Eagle Point.

Council has taken into consideration the development of the Eagle Point Foreshore Hub precinct and creating a possible link between Bairnsdale and Paynesville in the future.

The project proposal includes:

  • Formalising a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists
  • Providing upgraded trail connections to the foreshore
  • Extending shared path connection with the existing Paynesville – Eagle Point trail
  • Protecting fragile and sensitive environmental areas

Community Consultation

Community consultation undertaken during the development of the Eagle Point Structure Plan and Eagle Point Foreshore Marine and Coastal Management Plan has informed a draft concept design for the proposed pathway alignment.

Council is now seeking feedback on the draft concept design and welcomes your participation in the SURVEY.

Two engagement sessions were scheduled on 19 September of 2023 to seek feedback on the draft concept designs. Please join us to view the concept plan, meet with the consultant and Council officers, and provide your feedback.

To help us make informed decisions, it is important to understand what the community likes about the concept plan, and where there might be concerns or challenges. All feedback was considered when further planning this project.







We have listened - please find attached Community Engagement Report and Final Plans within the Documents Section.


Funding
