We have completed major works to upgrade the popular Tallebudgera Creek entrance precinct.

This project was part of our commitment to improve and maintain our parks and recreational areas as well as improve the community's experience and connection to nature.

The works were delivered in 3 stages:

  • Stage 1: Tallebudgera Creek southern training wall renewal
  • Stage 2: Tallebudgera Creek Park upgrade
  • Stage 3: Tallebudgera boardwalk upgrade

Stage 1: Training wall renewal

Completed mid-2023

The training wall is a vital rock structure which maintains the alignment and position of the creek's entrance.

To continue to protect our beaches against erosion, essential maintenance of the wall was needed. These works involve rearranging the existing rock material and placing additional rock armour to improve its structural integrity.

Benefits for the community

  • Improved resilience to coastal erosion
  • Improved pedestrian access at the crest of the training wall

Stage 2: Tallebudgera Park upgrade

Completed: February 2024

We have upgraded the parklands for all visitors, including people who need help with mobility and transformed the parklands into a destination foreshore park.

Benefits for the community

  • New pathways and improved beach access
  • New public amenities including a Changing Places toilet
  • High quality shaded play areas
  • Upgraded barbecue, picnic and seating areas
  • Additional tree planting

Stage 3: Tallebudgera boardwalk upgrade

Completed: August 2024

We upgraded the boardwalk and surrounding pathways that connect Tallebudgera Creek Park to the Tallebudgera Beach.

Benefits for the community

  • New 100m boardwalk with viewing platform offering a scenic outlook across Tallebudgera Creek towards the Burleigh Heads National Park
  • 150m of new 4m-wide concrete pathway on either side of the boardwalk to complete this section of the Oceanway
  • New seating and outdoor furniture
  • Landscaping, including replanting more than 30 native trees and 11 new trees which replaced imported species
  • New lighting
  • Extension of rock seawall to protect boardwalk from erosion
