Footpath Strategy

A separate footpath strategy is being developed in the next 12 months, which will provide detailed information on where footpath will be installed in the Council area.

Whilst there may not be a lot of footpath in our area there are quite a few access points that link road to lake or road to road that many people may not know about.

 
The Progress Association has been investigating what access ways may still be viable within our community to increase walking options. The hope is to increase awareness and get better signage so their existence is obvious and passable.

 
Local maps have been scrutinized for pathways and access points, the locations identified and photographed. A community meeting was held and the access options discussed and prioritised.

 
The aim is to provide the location information in a community brochure. If you would like to further discuss any of these locations please contact Suzanne on 4959 6741 or by email coalpointprogress@gmail.com

 
The CPPA is keen to talk to anyone who knows any of the history or information about the ‘lines on the map’ that we have identified.  

 
First priority is to address the Operational land zoning on 83-85 Skye Point Rd as this is seen as a vital access point into the publicly owned lands on the West Ridge, a great walking spot through local bushland with spectacular views.


A note on the links to the locations: The links will take you to the approximate location we are trying to explain. The photo is of what is visible from the road.

The next priority is to pursue signage at the following locations:
 
40A Ambrose St, next to the service station and where access to the lake is possible beside the caravan park.
 







Angela Close (12-14) to highlight the path to 
the Pony Club
 









Angela Close (32-19) providing access to the Carey Bay shops
 









Watkins Way, a track linking Coal Point (236-238 CPR) and Skye Point Road (221-223)
 









 Grant Road between 11 and 13- a grassy path to the Lake
 







The next priority is improved identification and working towards improving the access is proposed for the following locations:
 

The obscured access between 26-28 Coal Point Road that provides a link to the Quarterdeck (14-16) through public reserve.
 






Killara Close  (11-13) Improve the access that was impacted by the building of the ‘new’ house
 







Skye Point Rd (263-261) to 259 Coal Point Rd & Threlkeld Reserve, an unmarked and unobvious easement.

Two other areas needing more information are
142A-144 Skye Point Rd
44A Skye Point Rd
