Woolgoolga Whale Trail
UPDATE: Please read the Council Resolution of June 8, 2023 - this page will be updated shortly with further information.
Whale Trail Overview
The route between Woolgoolga Beach Reserve to the existing Solitary Islands Coastal Walk is already a popular walk for locals and visitors. Upgrading the walkway will offer greater pedestrian safety, improved accessibility, attract visitors and foster economic opportunities for Woolgoolga.
The concept design is influenced by environmental factors along with other considerations, including accessibility, safety and the key grant requirement that the pathway connects Woolgoolga Beach Reserve with the Solitary Islands Coastal Walk.
Where we are up to
We now have preliminary designs prepared for the $1.1 million Woolgoolga Whale Trail. Taking into consideration of community feedback received during extensive community consultations.
The City is committed to build the project for visitors and the local community, while protecting the environment.
* It should be noted that not all community recommendations for design can be achieved. The final design is subject to environmental and cultural heritage assessments/approvals and compliance with engineering, accessibility and construction standards.
The project is funded by a $1.1 million Community Development Grant, through the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.
