Project Update - Kurrimine Beach boat ramp carpark upgrade

Published on 16 April 2026

Here's what you said

Thank you to everyone who engaged and contributed to the Kurrimine Beach boat ramp carpark consultation.

We received 164 contributions from 147 participants, providing strong local knowledge and valuable insights into preferred car and trailer parking locations, foreshore use, and what matters most to the community.

Common themes from the feedback included:

• A general desire to improve car and trailer parking in support of the upgraded boat ramp.
• Recognition of Taifalos Park as a valued community space.
• A range of views on the future of the caravan park, with many wanting it retained, while others supported its use to help meet parking demand.
• Some suggestions to explore a combined approach, using both Taifalos Park and the caravan park during peak periods.
• The importance of safe traffic flow, accessibility and functionality.
• A shared expectation to balance infrastructure needs with environmental and community values.

The Community Engagement Summary Report is now available and provides a full overview of what was said: Community engagement summary report – KB Boat ramp Carpark Upgrade

What happens next?

Council will now move into the detailed design phase, where this feedback will be carefully considered alongside technical, and environmental requirements.

No final decisions have been made at this stage. We’ll continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
