The beautiful views and natural delights of the Tura Headland walking track will soon be open to more people following upcoming works to improve accessibility and enjoyment.
Partly funded through the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund, the 900-metre walking track will undergo works to improve the surface and create three new viewing platforms.
Council’s Project Manager, Glenn Merrick said the works will make it easier for people with limited mobility and specific needs to enjoy some of the best views along the shire’s coast.
“Erosion caused by weather, wear and tear has resulted in this popular walking track becoming degraded over the years,” Mr Merrick said.
