Layd Path was closed on 14th November 2024 following the structural failure of the existing timber boardwalks, which had reached the end of their lifespan.
Council has been very fortunate that the PEACEPLUS Partnership has included the re-development of the Layd Path as a capital project in the local PEACEPLUS Action Plan.
The project will include the replacement of timber boardwalks, installation of new steps, and the upgrading of existing steps and interpretation.
Council is now in the process of scoping all necessary works, including the replacement of additional infrastructure that was destroyed by the malicious fire during the summer of 2025.
A tender call is currently being prepared for the appointment of a contractor to carry out the required works. Once the tender has been awarded, work will commence to restore this important community pathway.
