Note: This Walkway has been proposed for at least 30 years and if the future redevelopment of the commercial properties fronting the Harbour Foreshore Reserve is going to maximise the view opportunities of the Harbour, it is critical for Council to become involved in the proactive facilitation of the redevelopment by the construction of the Public Walkway.
