About the project

This project involves upgrading sections of gravel footpath and sections of 1200m wide boardwalk along the 5km Basin Walk.

The Basin Walk will be closed during upgrade works. However, as construction works progress and are completed, sections of the walk will reopen to pedestrians when permissible.

Gravel Footpath
