A report was presented to Council documenting community feedback on the proposed design concept for the Bay Trail shared path at the high risk site between Sandown Street and the Royal Brighton Yacht Club.

It was moved and carried that Council:

1. Notes the level of community support outlined in this report following the community engagement activities undertaken in relation to the proposal to duplicate the section of the Bay Trail shared path between Sandown Street and the Royal Brighton Yacht Club;

2. Endorses the duplication of the Bay Trail as a surface path as shown in Attachment 1 between Sandown Street and the Royal Brighton Yacht Club to address a ‘high risk’ safety hazard to path users; and

3. Considers funding for this project in the 2019/2020 Council Budget.

At the same meeting Council awarded the contract for delivery of Bay Trail and Boardwalk construction at Middle Brighton Baths.
