Central Coast Council has successfully upgraded two out of four amenity buildings along the popular 3.5km Long Jetty foreshore pathway. The buildings, located on Archbold Road and Gladstan Avenue, were nearing the end of their lifespan and no longer met current building codes. Both buildings have been replaced with modern facilities that are:

• more accessible – easy access for everyone, including wheelchair users
• more inclusive – featuring unisex toilets for all users
• more sustainable – designed to use less water and energy
• more reliable and efficient – using smart technology to support operations, including automated locking and unlocking for consistent hours. 

Each upgraded building now offers three new, modern cubicles to meet local and visitor needs. The existing outdoor shower at Archbold Road has been retained and reactivated as part of the works.

To ensure continued amenity access during construction, the buildings were upgraded in stages, one at a time. The Archbold Road building reopened on 19 July 2024, and the Gladstan Avenue building reopened on 18 December 2024.

Please note that while the Gladstan Avenue building is open, the accessible ramp is temporarily unavailable due to manufacturing delays. We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to completing the ramp by the end of January 2025 (weather permitting). In the meantime, the nearest wheelchair accessible public toilets are located 500m south at Saltwater Creek Reserve and 1km north at the end of Archbold Road.

The Long Jetty historical signage from the Archbold Road amenity building has been carefully removed and will be reinstalled in a new location. Council is currently working on a revised design and location options around the amenity building.
