Carpark Upgrades – Esplanade Turners Beach

The Central Coast Council are currently upgrading the car park opposite 80 – 86 Esplanade, Turners Beach (old Le Mar Café site).

As Turners Beach is a growing coastal town, upgrading this parking facility is part of Council’s efforts to ensure local infrastructure can safely and adequately cater for the community’s needs. 

The decision also follows the recommendations set out by the Turners Beach Integrated Pathways, Streetscaping and Traffic Management Plan in 2021. This Plan was developed by a group of Turners Beach community members, a Councillor and Council staff member, to help inform decisions regarding streetscaping the esplanade.  

So far, we have had a lot of interest on this project and how Council will be maintaining the existing trees on site. Below is some more information on the project, including a site plan.

The project started on Monday 8 April and the work is estimated to be completed within 8- 10-weeks. Beach access in this location will be closed during the works.

After careful consideration and assessment by an arborist, we are excited to confirm that no trees will be removed from the site to accommodate for the carpark. We have even been able to retain the central tree. However, some invasive species and small minor plants will still need to be removed.  

Here’s what the project will involve:

These plans, as well as other things happening in the Turners Beach area, will be discussed at the upcoming Turners Beach Community Conversation.
