Central Coast Council will be closing Magenta shared pathway for a day to install a number of benches along the scenic walk.

The popular pathway will be closed on Thursday 2 March from 6am-5pm to install seats in the rest areas.

The benches will add to the amenity of the pathway allowing users to rest comfortably and enjoy the natural environment as they exercise.

Due to the nature of the work and for user safety, Council needs to close the pathway from the Evans Road car park as heavy machinery will be on site.

During the works, cyclists can use the on-road bicycle lanes on Wilfred Barrett Drive and walkers can access the wetland path from the south end of Evans Road or the trails from the Wilfred Barrett Drive carpark.

Cyclists using Wilfred Barrett Drive should use care on the public road, which at times has heavy traffic. In turn, motorists are advised there may be extra cyclist activity on the road and take extra care.

For more details, please call Council on 4350 5555.
