Port Stephen Works to ‘spruce up’ the Shoal Bay foreshore are underway, with new amenities now complete and a new shared pathway, landscaping and park furniture on the way. New amenities at Shoal Bay Mayor Ryan Palmer says the improvements will make Shoal Bay an even more attractive place to spend time for both locals and visitors. “These works are all part of our plan to improve our town centres and make our place more liveable and accessible for all. “The new amenities are now complete and are a vast improvement on what was there, thanks to a grant from the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund. They also include external beach showers to make it easier to wash off after a swim, kayak or paddleboard.
