Fascine to Harbour Walk
Posted: 29/10/2025
The Fascine to Harbour Walk will help to further connect the town centre to the Carnarvon Harbour via a continuous pathway, to further amplify and encourage usage of the town’s iconic Fascine skyline.
This project is part of the Carnarvon Activation Plan (CAP), a strategic initiative designed to enhance key public spaces, improve connectivity, and boost local engagement. The CAP was developed in response to community feedback in 2022, which highlighted concerns about the town centre’s appeal, safety, and economic vitality. The Shire worked closely with UDLA and community stakeholders to identify priority projects that would make the biggest impact.
The Carnarvon Harbour is already home to tourist-related activities and attractions; however, its lack of pedestrian amenities makes it difficult to access without a vehicle. Improving the connection to the Harbour from the town centre will give the existing Fascine pathway a more tourist-friendly end destination along with increased recreational use for locals. The pathway will include a turnaround point at the Harbour end with ample area for directional manoeuvring bicycles and prams and may include a landscaping element to complement the pathway.
