As a result of detailed design refinement, the design of the Del Monte Place Road and Drainage upgrade has been updated from the version that was open for community comment in February and March 20020.

The key design changes are as follows:

• "Give Way" sign changed to a "Stop" sign at the intersection of Vista Avenue and Del Monte Place to improve road user safety at this location.
• Parking bay provision reduced between Vista Avenue and Captain Cook lookout access road to mitigate construction safety risks.

The community was invited to:

• view the updated concept designs
• contact the project team should you wish to discuss the refinements further

Whilst changes to the technical aspects of the design may not be able to be accommodated, Council accepted feedback until 10 January 2022.

This project is 100% funded by the Australian Government as part of the $86.5 million Central Coast Roads Package through the Urban Congestion Fund.

Central Coast Council is planning a major upgrade of a 1,500 metre section of Del Monte Place, Copacabana from Segura Street to Oceano Street and recently sought the community's feedback.

The project will include construction of a new footpath and will provide substantially improved access to the Winney Bay Reserve for motorists and pedestrians.

Preparation works for Stage One – involving vegetation removal and relocation of a water main – are scheduled to begin in April 2020 with the road construction planned for commencement early in the 2020-21 financial year.

The community was invited to view the concept plans, read the Frequently Asked Questions for the project, attend the drop-in information session and provide feedback on the project via the interactive map.

This project is funded by the Australian Government through the Urban Congestion Fund with a total project cost of $10 million.

Council has reviewed all the feedback received during consultation and will consider the communities and ideas when preparing the detailed designs.

The community is invited to view the detailed Consultation Report available in the Document Library.
