Reconstruction of South Beach Road gets underway

Published on 02 June 2025

Works have begun on reconstruction of the entire length of South Beach Road in Brunswick Heads and there will be very limited access to parking during work hours, Monday to Friday. 

“We’ve completed extensive drainage works over the last few months along South Beach Road and we’re moving into the next stage of this $2.7 million upgrade which involves reconstruction of the length of this popular foreshore road,” Byron Shire Council Director, Phil Holloway said.

“To get this work done, we will need to close sections of the road to vehicles for increasing periods of time during working hours, Monday to Friday,” he said. 

“We will have traffic management set up at the entry to the Brunswick Heads Bridge near The Terrace and if no parking spaces are available, vehicles will be detoured and asked to find alternative parking,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Services, Phil Holloway said.

“Residents of South Beach Road, emergency services and key stakeholders are excepted but may experience unavoidable delays as reconstruction preparation and works move along the road,” he said.

“Outside of construction hours and on weekends, our crews will create access to as many parking spaces as possible, but these may be limited to very few or even none at times.”

“Torakina Carpark will remain blocked to traffic and parking for the remainder of the project – which is on track for completion by the end of August, weather allowing,” Mr Holloway said.

“While we’re preparing South Beach Road for full reconstruction in this next stage of works, please seek alternative parking in town and use the pedestrian access to the beach,” Mr Holloway.

Pedestrian access will remain in place throughout the works and Council asks the community to follow signage and traffic control through the construction zone.
