Newcastle City Council and the New South Wales Government have joined forces to provide $850,000 for upgrades to the North Stockton boat ramp on the Hunter River.
Plans for the overhaul show the current dirt road carpark will be paved and transformed into a 42-spaces for cars with boat trailers; picnic facilities; new amenities providing disabled access; improved fish cleaning facilities; wash-down bays for cars and trailers; improved storm water drainage; and landscaping to help order traffic.
The community is advised the existing amenities block will remain open until the new one is completed and the South Stockton boat ramp will be available during the temporary closure of the northern facility as the works go ahead.
Work is expected to begin in early April and take around four months to complete with foreshore stabilisation and riverside plantings earmarked to follow.
