The Bombo Headland Eco Walk will provide a staircase linking the Bombo Quarry to adjacent walking tracks and beaches.

This will allow walkers to explore the headland in its entirety and will provide a spectacular vista of the coast that will attract more visitors to the area.

The staircase design includes a viewing platform for people to enjoy the ocean views south towards Blowhole Point, and a channel to wheel bikes up.

The design also takes into account the heritage of the site, including its Aboriginal and European heritage, geology and vegetation.

The 13-metre staircase will include colours and textures to complement the iconic basalt cliffs and rock formations of the Quarry.

The NSW Government has provided $500,000 towards the project from its Restart NSW fund.

Update

Kiama Council contractors will be undertaking the required rectification work on the Bombo Quarry staircase from Monday, 26 February 2024.

The work is expected to take six weeks.

This work is required to address defects, such as the stair treads.

The stairs will then need to be certified as complete.

Once this is done, Council will be able to formally open the stairs.

Until this time the stairs are not to be used by the public.
