Throughout the year, Council’s crews are hard at it, maintaining and improving the places that keep our neighbourhoods safe and our community connected. 

The annual capital works program that helps keep local infrastructure up to scratch ensures the Northern Beaches continues to be a great place to live.

Completed works so far this financial year include:

• new and upgraded footpaths in Collaroy, Narrabeen, Belrose, Freshwater and Brookvale
• new hardcourts at Winnererremy Bay and a fitness equipment upgrade in Lakeside Park at Narrabeen
• replacement stairs at Fisher Bay and a new boardwalk at Castle Rock on the Manly to Spit Scenic Walk 
• building works at our aquatic centres, air-conditioning at 2 community centres and surf club amenities upgrades 
• family friendly change facilities at Pittwater Rugby Park
• new change rooms, a canteen and a showers building at Frank Gray Oval, North Curl Curl
• an accessible pathway on the South Curl Curl Boardwalk
• rockpool renewal at Whale Beach 
• new beach access stairs at Ramsey Street and Stuart Street, Collaroy
• significant road works including resurfacing, patching and remediation in over a dozen suburbs.

Various works have been funded by the Special Variation to Rates, beginning on 1 July. Visit the Your rates at work for a full list of completed and proposed works.

Our program of roadworks and footpaths renewal and replacement projects also continues across the Beaches, along with:

• road and drainage works on Scotland Island and upgrades to the Queenscliff and Stuart Sommerville bridges
• a replacement boardwalk and bridge at Long Reef, rockpool renewals at Mona Vale and stormwater remediation works at Freshwater Beach.

We’re also excited about welcoming the community to the opening of the brand-new Warriewood Community Centre in early 2026. The multi-use centre will support activities from meetings or performances to exercise and dance classes and more. The community centre will also have the capacity to switch to an emergency and recovery centre when needed. Stay tuned!

Capital works programs are planned and scheduled to deliver benefits and value to residents, community groups and visitors across the Beaches and improve amenity, safety and accessibility for all.
