To be done in three stages, the Wollongong City Council work will include a new amenities block, a larger pedestrian plaza around the food van and a new pedestrian area around the the Lawrence Hargrave memorial.
There will also be extra parking, in a new lower car park near the intersection of Lady Wakehurst Drive and Lawrence Hargrave Drive and a realignment of Lady Wakehurst Drive and Otford Road to allow the construction of a roundabout and bus parking bays.
The work on the car park will start next month.
The road works, the roundabout, and the associated walkway will be constructed in the second stage of work, which the council says will improve traffic safety, parking, walkways and heritage in the area.
The council will soon lodge a development application for the final stage of work, in which the amenities building will be constructed next year.
The refurbishment was one of three Wollongong City Council projects which received money from the NSW government’s $100 million port lease fund.
