Lake Ainsworth Improvements

• Completion Date31 May 2025

Council is continuing a range of works at Lake Ainsworth to provide both environmental and recreational benefits for our community and visitors.

These works align with the actions identified in Lake Ainsworth’s Coastal Management Program (CMP). 

The improvement works include:

• Car park upgrade, including a stormwater infiltration strip for better control of run-off into the Lake to improve ecological outcomes.
• Aquatic weed harvesting and control.
• Bush regeneration and tree planting.
• Beach nourishment and bank stabilisation.
• New pedestrian footpath and board walk.
• New park furniture and bollards.
• Improved irrigation and landscaping.

These works are expected to be finished by May 2025. 

The car park works will be completed in stages to help meet parking demands in the area.

Council thanks the community for their patience during these works. Read more about Lake Ainsworth’s Coastal Management Program here.

Toilet upgrade

Council is also making improvements to the toilet amenities located north of the Lennox Head Surf. The existing toilet block is getting a revamp and is expected to be reopened by June 2025.

Temporary toilets have been installed to assist while the works are happening. Beach-goers can also use the existing toilet block located 200m north on the eastern side of Lake Ainsworth.
