$2.7m upgrade of South Beach Road to start early Feb 2025

Published on 17 December 2024

Council’s long-awaited road upgrade of South Beach Road, Brunswick Heads, will get underway in February 2025, at the end of the summer holidays.

This $2.7m project has been made possible thanks to more than $1m from the NSW Government, $500k from the Roads to Recovery program (Australian Government) and the remaining $1.2m from Byron Shire Council.

“This popular beachside road has been in poor condition for a long time, and we’re excited to have a firm timeframe for the works, which will kick off in early February 2025 – outside of the busy school holiday period,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Services, Phil Holloway said.

“This major upgrade includes the complete pavement reconstruction of South Beach Rd, along with improved drainage, kerb and gutter works and line marking,” he said.

“It includes the proposed resurfacing of Torakina Carpark and redesign of the line-marking and spaces to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility through this popular area,” Mr Holloway said.

“The current planned works will not include the resurfacing of South Beach Lane, however, we will be looking for funding for road and drainage upgrades in future financial years.”

“Our focus is on improving the condition of South Beach Road in Brunswick Heads for residents, locals and visitors.  This road is the primary access point to the beach, Brunswick River, the South wall, the upgraded Surf Club when it is built, the Community Centre and tennis courts,” Mr Holloway said.
