Bayview To Church Point Stairs Opened!!
New community stairs are now officially open to all, creating a formal connection through a lovely piece of bushland, between Captain Hunter Rd, Bayview Heights and Quartersessions Rd Church Point The funding came from a NSW Govt Community Building Partnership Grant awarded to the Bayview Church Point Residents Association, with Roberta Conroy as project sponsor.
“Before the stairs were built residents in Bayview Heights had to bush-bash through the rocky hillside, but now the community has much easier access to Church Point transport, water, eateries, and egress in emergencies e.g.; bushfires. BCPRA and our community are very grateful to Northern Beaches Council, they have been tremendously supportive throughout the whole project, in fact it could not have happened without them.” Roberta said on Tuesday, May 28th at the official opening.
MP for Pittwater Rob Stokes also congratulated the Bayview Church Point Residents Association on the official opening of the new stairway trail from Bayview Heights to Church Point.
“This is a great example of cooperation between the community, Council, and State Government – with funding assistance secured through the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership Program and the project delivered by Northern Beaches Council.”
Mayor Michael Regan along with Councillors Kylie Ferguson, Alex McTaggart and Ian White gathered with residents and members of the association to celebrate the opening and formal ribbon cutting this week.
