ENACT secured State Government support in 2018 to provide a vital section of Stage One of the Teralina Track. State Road’s widening of the Arthur Highway across the Neck was opened in January 2023 at a final cost of $5.4 million. This includes, a footpath across the Neck, safer turning into and off Blowhole Rd to the highway and the Community Hall, two bus stops and a safe pedestrians crossing island near Old Jetty Road.
ENACT has seen parts of other stages of the Teralina Track completed; from Caribbean Court to Doo Town (Stage Four) and from the eastern end of Doo Town to the Blow Hole Car Park (part of Stage Five), and now the Council have finished constructing the last bit to join these two section of 320m through Doo Town. The remaining stages are a work-in-progress.
