A popular stretch of coastline is now even easier to explore, with a 1.4 km section of pathway along Sea Esplanade officially renewed and reopened to the community.
Beginning from Dryden Street to McGarry Way in Burnett Heads, the upgraded pathway has been widened to 3 m, creating a smoother, safer and more accessible route for walkers, cyclists, families with prams and people using mobility aids.
The project involved replacing the ageing footpath which had experienced deterioration and significant cracking over time.
It also addressed underlying ground conditions to create a stronger and more durable coastal connection.
The renewed pathway improves access to one of the region’s most scenic seaside locations, providing locals and visitors with more space to walk, ride and take in the beautiful ocean views.
The upgrade was fully funded through the Works for Queensland program and forms part of Bundaberg Regional Council’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing community infrastructure across the region.
