The project will also include health and service facilities, food and beverage outlets along the beachfront, walking, jogging and cycling tracks, children’s play areas, fitness zones and beach activity spaces. Shaded seating areas will allow use of the site from day into night. The development will also feature a shaded skate park alongside spaces for events and seasonal activities.
