Funding

The Coward Street Cycleway Upgrade, Mascot project is proudly funded by the NSW Government.

Storm events and tidal inundation is causing significant erosion of the area, which would impact the Grand Parade within five years at the current rate of erosion. The works are being undertaken to ensure the stability of the area and protect our foreshore from further erosion while a long-term management plan is being established. 

The work involves the transportation of sand from Kyeemagh to Brighton Le Sands and Dolls Point to Ramsgate via trucks. The work will require the closure of small areas of beach, which will be gated to ensure the safety of the public. Council has planned the projects to have minimal impact on the community while this essential work is completed. 

The work is being done on Crown Land with significant funding from the NSW Government.

What's involved

A tree pruning project is currently underway along Botany Road from Foreshore Road to Gardeners Road.

The project includes:

• Removal of ‘deadwood’ (loose and damaged branches)
• Providing vehicle and pedestrian clearances
• Ensuring signage / lights are visible

The above works are weather dependent, and timelines can change accordingly. 

Due to Road Work Restrictions imposed by Transport NSW, some of these works are required to be completed at night. Council apologies for any inconvenience caused.

These works are essential to minimise the risk of harm from potential future trees failures.
