Market Street, Fingal Bay works

Port Stephens Council are undertaking important pedestrian improvement works along Market Street, Fingal Bay.

The planned works involve the installation of new kerbs, gutters, ramps and the construction of an asphaltic concrete footpath. These works will also involve the change of parallel parking to angle parking along a section of Market Street. Please see map below.

These works will build on the existing footpath works previously undertaken by Council over the last few financial years.

The works are designed to provide compliance to disability standards with a particular focus around the bus stop area. The existing bus shelter is to remain in place initially but will be relocated into the newly constructed area later this financial year as this is funded separately by the Country Passenger Transport Infrastructure Grant program.

The footpath works will be completed using primarily asphaltic concrete. This surface was chosen to ensure disability standard compliance and to enable future works to be undertaken easily and at less cost to Council and ratepayers.

If you have any questions in relation to this work please contact Council.
