African Reef Cycle Path Upgrade
The cycle path located behind the African Reef Hotel that connects Upton Court to Willcock Drive has been upgraded to make it easier and safer to use. More here
The natural gradient of the hillside made the former path steep and difficult for riders to maintain slower speeds and stop quickly if required.
The 203m long and 3m wide concrete shared path now has a comfortable slope and has two wide curves making it easier and safer to use by pedestrians and riders alike.
A handrail to assist pedestrians and riders who may need help getting up and down the path has also been included.
The $350,000 project was joint funded by the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program Phase Four providing $167,293.
