Central Coast Council is urging pedestrians and motorists to take extra care around Terrigal Haven as works get underway to install 5 new CCTV cameras.

Works include Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) from the bottom to the top of Terrigal Skillion to accommodate the installation of a new camera tower at this location.

Access to the top of the Skillion will be closed from Monday 11 September to Wednesday 13 September while the underground boring is being carried out.

Some parking spaces along Loop Road around The Haven, adjacent to the Rugby Oval and Skillion, will be impacted by these works. For public safety reasons, pedestrian access to The Skillion will be restricted.

Traffic and pedestrian management plans are in place for the duration of the works at all five locations. Council thanks all users for their patience and cooperation while these important works are carried out.

CCTV camera poles will be installed in the first week of October with the actual cameras installed by the end of November.

The CCTV camera installations are thanks to a $550,000 grant under round two of the Federal Government’s Safer Streets Programme that will see the installation of 16 new CCTV cameras in Terrigal and Copacabana.
