Labor Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP, has announced that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will deliver $2.1 million towards the construction of the Beaches Shared Pathway in Avoca Beach.

This election commitment will help fund the construction of a shared pathway from the Round Drive, along Avoca Drive, to Heazlett Park in Avoca Beach.

This announcement follows Labor’s commitments to invest in infrastructure across the Central Coast, including the $115 million upgrade for Terrigal Drive, $15 million towards fixing intersections in Empire Bay and the $1.8 million to upgrade Ettalong Beach foreshore.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP:

“Our community has campaigned hard to secure funding for a shared pathway in Avoca Beach.

“I am thrilled that we now have funding to get construction started on this exciting project.

“Over 1,500 people have signed our petition and this win is because of their support.

“I look forward to working with Central Coast Council to deliver this shared pathway, funding is now secured for all three stages of the project.

“Only a re-elected Albanese Labor Government can be trusted to deliver for the Central Coast.”

Quotes attributable to Avoca Beach Community Association member, Graham George-Davidson:

“We are incredibly grateful for the additional support from Dr Gordon Reid.

“He has listened to the community, backed us from the beginning with valuable guidance and the petition, both of which have been instrumental.

“This election commitment brings us one step closer to completing the final section of the Shared Pathway—from the Bowling Club all the way through to Heazlett Park.

“With Central Coast Council already delivering Stages 1 and 2, this final link will ensure that locals and visitors can safely walk or ride directly into Avoca.

“It’s a significant win for our community—thank you.”
