Cudgera Creek Park car park upgrade

We upgraded the northern car park at Cudgera Creek Park in Hastings Point, next to Cudgera Creek. This was the first step in improving the experience for locals and visitors while protecting the area’s natural beauty.

We secured funding for the upgrade before starting the Hastings Point Headland Management Plan, which is now being developed with community input to reflect local feedback.

The upgrade improved the car park’s visual appeal, traffic flow and accessibility.

Why it happened
