Council has recommenced investigations into a potential upgrade of the existing Council-owned parking facilities and amenities at the 1770 public boat ramp, located between 535-539 Captain Cook Drive, Seventeen Seventy.

Our design approach will be in line with community expectations and values while focusing on:

• Provide safety improvements for motorist, recreational boat users and pedestrians
• Increase car-trailer unit (CTU) parking bay capacity for recreational boat users accessing the 1770 public boat ramp.

Council is in early stages of developing a new proposed concept design and has undertaken targeted engagement with stakeholders in the project area to capture their feedback on potential design elements.

Council is committed to continuing to work with businesses, stakeholders and the community to develop an outcome which addresses the community's concerns for parking in the popular tourist and recreation area while limiting impacts to the surrounding environment.

Council is not only committed to developing a concept design but to developing the right concept design.

There is currently no deadline to complete construction however Council will continue progress the development while ensure it meets project goals and community expectations.
