In collaboration with Moir Studio, Council prepared a revised concept for public feedback for the next phase of the development of Woy Woy Foreshore. There awere two elements which we sought community feedback on - Anderson Park and Lions Park.

From 11 August to 22 September 2025, the community was invited to view concept designs and share their preference between key design options via the survey, and via pop-up.

Two concepts have been prepared for Anderson Park.

Option 1 (pictured below) utilises the park's existing shade with a circular seating arrangement as a feature item and linked by accessible paths.

Option 2 (pictured below) proposes an iconic sculptural deck that will provide formal and informal seating and sited to maximise deep shade provide by the existing tree canopy.

For Lions Park, two concepts have been created for the car parking layout.

Both options propose upgrade of the Western boat ramp with a second pontoon, with closure of the eastern boat to vehicles to improve public safety and conflict with the multi-user path. It should be noted that the Eastern boat ramp will remain available for light watercraft (i.e. sea kayak, dragon boat racing).

In the park setting, a formal coastal boardwalk is proposed including accessibility improvements to Lions Park.

The current concept builds on the work that was undertaken by Council as part of the Let’s Talk Woy Woy initiatives in 2019 and 2022, and the draft Woy Woy Waterfront Masterplan 2022.

The overall concept includes upgrades to the swimming enclosure and seawall, the siting of a renewed public amenities block and improvements to parklands and foreshore access.

Feedback received during this exhibition will help finalise the designs and ensure they reflect community values and priorities.

Council is specifically seeking input on design preferences. Broader project delivery and timing remain subject to funding and future planning.

Council worked with Indigenous representatives to embed Connection to Country in the final designs.

Playspace upgrades at Pelican and Lions Parks have already been delivered in response to community need, with further improvements to follow as resources become available.

The Woy Woy Foreshore Masterplan reflects Council’s commitment to enhancing public space, improving accessibility and investing in the long-term liveability of our region.

Master planning is about making the connection between buildings, social settings and their surrounding environments – we asked the community if we’ve gotten it right.

The community were invited to:

• View the draft Woy Woy Waterfront Masterplan
• View the frequently asked questions (available on this page)
• Talk all things Woy Woy with us at the Let’s Talk Woy Woy event which was on Thursday 19 May 2022 between 10am and 4pm at the Peninsula Leisure Centre
• Register for a virtual information session with the project team.
• Share your ideas, comments, and opinions on the interactive concept plans
• Provide feedback via an online feedback form

Feedback was accepted between 2 June and 3 July 2022.

It takes great ideas to build a strong future. We asked for your ideas, thoughts and opinions to inform the draft Woy Woy Waterfront Masterplan. The feedback was used to inform, refine and enhance the Woy Woy Waterfront Masterplan.

Thank you to those who shared their feedback on the Woy Woy Foreshore Masterplan project.

The Woy Woy Foreshore Concept Design Report was on public exhibition from 11 August to 22 September 2025, inviting community feedback. Feedback received was regarding the options presented in the Report, in particular the preferred development options for Anderson Park and Lions Park.

Council staff are now preparing a report on the feedback gathered during the public exhibition period, noting key themes and comments, to be presented to Council in early 2026.

Council will keep the community advised on Council’s direction in due course and any updates will be communicated on Council’s Your Voice Our Coast page. Please check back in to stay up to date.
