Coffs Creek revitalisation is the establishment of a rock retaining wall near England’s Park. The rock retaining wall is vital to protect the southern end of Coffs Creek from the threat of coastal erosion and protect the waterway. This project will also benefit the community by providing a new footpath and boardwalk to improve pedestrian access, as well as a new jetty pier and seating space for everyone to enjoy the area. 

Project scope

Planned improvements include:

  • Rock protection slope to protect from coastal erosion
  • A new footpath to link to the existing path 
  • A new boardwalk 
  • Sandstone steps provide access to the intertidal sand flats 
  • New Jetty pier with steps providing access to the creek 
  • New sandstone seating 
  • Re-establish salt marsh areas  
  • New shade trees  
  • Existing boat ramp to be retained
  • Existing footpath to be retained

The project is a key action item from the Coffs Creek Estuary Coastal Zone Management Plan that was adopted by Council in 2015.   

The rock retaining wall will protect Park Beach Reserve, England’s Park from impacts of coastal erosion due to storm events and climate change. 

Funding

Proudly joint funded $1.9 million NSW Government Grant and City of Coffs Harbour.
