The viewing platform at Warren Avenue lookout, Avoca Beach, was planned to be demolished due to safety concerns. The state it was in posed a hazard to the public, and Central Coast Council is committed to ensuring everyone’s safety.

We invited the local community to participate in a consultation process to determine the future of the site. Your feedback helped us decide whether to:

1. Replace the viewing platform or
2. Create unobstructed views of Avoca Beach through vegetation management.

For those community members who supported a replacement, we asked your ideas for design features including seating, lighting and accessibility.

Following the demolition of the old lookout structure, Council procured Concept Designs for a new lookout based on your feedback. The new structure will be disability compliant and use lightweight composite decking with stainless steel rail and balustrade. Final Designs are nearing completion. Once design is complete, we will be calling for construction tenders.

Construction is planned to begin in early 2026. Prior to works commencing, Council will undertake vegetation management to prune branches obscuring the view and remove invasive species. The intention is to complete construction of the new lookout by the end of this financial year.

We would like to thank the community again for taking the time to share your valuable feedback, which has helped us create a modernised design that balances accessibility and amenity.
