Eastern Foreshore South Precinct

In November 2018 we asked the community to provide feedback on concept proposals to transform the Eastern Foreshore South Precinct into a destination waterfront recreation and leisure space.

The key proposals for the Eastern Foreshore South Precinct included:

• An enclosed swimming area in the location of the historical ‘Robert Day Memorial Pool’ with an iconic circular floating jetty platform, terraced steps and ramp to access the water and adjacent shade and seating.
• Upgraded beach area with ramp access, adjacent boardwalk and seating areas.
• Upgraded and new jetty and boat parking facilities.
• Ticketing outlet to facilitate water-based recreation and tourism opportunities.
• Upgraded grass and paved activity space connecting foreshore and City Centre.

There was overwhelming community support for the Eastern Foreshore South Precinct proposals. A summary of the Community Engagement process and findings is available here.

Council adopted the concept plans for the Eastern Foreshore South Precinct at its meeting on 26 February 2019. Since this time, a lot of planning, investigation and design development in collaboration with consultant Coastal Engineers has taken place as well as further stakeholder engagement.

Funding was committed to implement the Eastern Foreshore South Precinct Proposals which commenced in the 2019-20 financial year with completion of the Estuary Pool area late 2021. The upgrades to the reserve area adjacent to the Pool will continue into 2023.
