​GREAT PROGRESS AT BWSP BETWEEN 2020-2022. 


The Park contributes nearly $1 million worth of economic benefit to the local community every year. There has been extensive work carried out on environmental projects and infrastructure over the last 2 years. New walking tracks have been developed, dune stabilisation projects undertaken, new toilet facilities built as well as many other community activities and collaborative projects. In excess of $1.3 million in Grant funding has been secured for Park improvement projects.

AMENITY PROJECT WORKS UPDATE
We are very excited to announce that the both self composting, waterless toilet blocks within the Park has been completed. The first block located at the beach entry provides 4 toilet cubicles with a car park for visitor convenience. The second amenity block is positioned as close to Third Creek as possible, just behind the North Dune. This block provides 6 toilet cubicles to cater for the large number of day visitors that gather around this popular area.  This park upgrade could not have occurred without the support of the NSW Government 2020-21 CRIF program and the many park visitors who purchase permits to make this project possible.
