More than $4.6 million in infrastructure improvements were completed across the Beaches in April, delivering safer roads, upgraded public spaces and improved community facilities, with further projects continuing across the area.

The works form part of Council’s 2025/26 Capital Works Program and include road resurfacing, new and renewed footpaths, foreshore upgrades, building improvements and targeted stormwater repairs.

Major road rehabilitation works were delivered on Cabbage Tree Road at Bayview and Willandra Road at Beacon Hill, alongside footpath and kerb and gutter upgrades in Mona Vale, Brookvale and North Balgowlah. 

Community facilities across the area also benefited from a range of building works, including roof replacements, safety upgrades and operational improvements at centres in Forestville, Curl Curl, Manly, Cromer and Newport.
