About the project
Background
Myola comprises existing Crown Land at the southern end of Catherine Street and is a unique location encompassing Callala Beach and Currambene Creek in close proximity and is an important aboriginal cultural and heritage location.
As a result, it is a very popular destination with the local community and visitors providing a great diversity of activities undertaken, including fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, relaxing and other family friendly activities.
During the peak season this area can get quite congested with parking, which invariably leads to informal parking encroaching into the sensitive coastal forest environment.
It is also a key strategic location where a ferry service provides an important link between Huskisson and the northern side of Jervis Bay, including Myola, Callala Beach and Callala Bay.
This ferry link allows access to the popular Round the Bay Walks which currently connects Hyams Beach all the way to Huskisson and with the most recently completed section around the Callala Bay headland along with Callala Beach, it now provides a completed section to Catherine Street, Myola. However, there is a missing link (approximately 500m) to the ferry landing zone in Myola.
Objectives
The proposed works aim to provide supporting infrastructure for the continuation of the Round the Bay Walk, improving accessibility & amenity for all persons, whilst minimising current impacts that are occurring to the Crown land, and adjacent residential area. The project will provide car parking, public amenities and connect the existing path network providing disabled access to the beach landing used by the ferry.
