Bega MP Andrew Constance announced the $5,250,000 to help deliver the Batemans Bay Coastal Headlands Walking Trail and Observation Point Viewing Platform, thanks to the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, co-funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments.

Mr Constance said the funding would help with the construction of the accessible walking track, starting at Observation Point in Batehaven where a new lookout will be built, and stretching south along the headlands to Pretty Point near Mckenzies Beach.

"The Eurobodalla is home to some of the state's most beautiful beaches and coastlines," Mr Constance said.

"This fantastic new walking trail will make it easy to get from Batemans Bay's headlands to beaches and retail precincts and will really turbo-charge the area, encouraging visitors to stay longer and spend money in local businesses."

Deputy Mayor Rob Pollock said investments in community infrastructure were vital to support the shire's economy after the fires.

"Nature-based experiences are what people are looking for today," Cr Pollock said.

"We want to make it easy for our visitors and locals to find and explore these fantastic trails and headlands.

"It also means people with mobility issues will be able to get to spots like Observation Point and see what makes the Eurobodalla such a special place.

"Council has already done the early planning work and now we've got funding we can get started on the lookout and formalising the headland trails.

"It's a great boost for our economy and our tourism product. We're grateful to the Commonweath and NSW governments."

The funding comes after the NSW Government awarded $3 million to Eurobodalla Council for the Mogo mountain bike trails project last month.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro said the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund had been designed to deliver infrastructure and initiatives that would boost economic and social recovery, increase community preparedness for future natural disasters and help to get residents back on their feet.

"Our regional communities have been doing it tough to say the least which is why we are backing projects that will put people back in work, retain existing jobs and stimulate local economies with a focus on improving essential community infrastructure and industry development," Mr Barilaro said.

Applications for a share of $250 million can be submitted in the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund open round, which opened on October 27, 2020.

Grants of between $200,000 and $20 million will be available to organisations through the open round, including councils, joint organisations, business chambers, charities, businesses and Local Aboriginal Land Councils to deliver successful projects.
