Project overview

In 2021, Council received funding from the NSW Government’s Fixing Local Roads grant to upgrade and reseal Hannah Parade – One Mile Beach car park.

During the construction of the sewer system that connects the amenities block to the above ground sewer disposal mound, culturally significant artefacts were discovered, leading to the requirement to obtain an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) for future works at the site, including the car park upgrades.

Heritage investigations have been undertaken in line with NSW Government requirements which have determined significant cultural values in the adjacent Crown Reserve and National Parks land holdings. To prevent unauthorised parking and mitigate any inadvertent damage to the adjacent area, barriers have been placed around the perimeter of the car park.

With the need to preserve the cultural and biodiversity values of the adjacent lands, and the suitability of parking following recent linemarking, the original car park upgrade projects will no longer proceed. Instead, the Hannah Parade and One Mile car park will be subject to regular maintenance works to ensure the appropriate level of service is achieved into the future, whilst protecting the adjacent environmentally sensitive areas.
