This community group was formed in early 2013 after a public meeting identified the gradual erosion of infrastructure in Eaglehawk Neck over recent years and the many significant projects that needed to be progressed in order to meet our
MISSION – “To make Eaglehawk Neck a better place to visit & live.”
The group has a long list of aspirational goals and is working closely with the EHN Community and Hall Association, Tasman Council, the Parks and Wildlife Service, the State Government and other stake-holders to achieve their Mission.
This website was a great start (with nearly 40,000 visitors so far, from 129 countries), as is the new welcome sign at the top of the hill.
Seven new picnic tables have been installed throughout Eaglehawk Neck, with one more to be placed. – built from Monterey Pine timber from trees planted in 1918 that formed a memorial soldiers’ walk at the Port Arthur Historic Site – substantially funded through an Anzac Centenary Local Projects Grant and the Eaglehawk Neck Community & Hall Association. Built by local craftsmen Stuart Meeking and Rob Monk, with assistance from local volunteers, Tasman Council, Peninsula Readymix and Lufra Hotel.
New public toilets and picnic facilities are now part of a redeveloped Whale Watchers Lookout (former surfers’ carpark).
The Eaglehawk Neck Coastal Trail, from the Tessellated Pavement to the Devil’s Kitchen, is becoming a reality.
Community working bees have improved the amenity and area around the community hall and the garden around the Officers Quarters. Restoration is a longer term goal.
Road safety is being addressed, as is bush fire planning and mitigation.
The future of Waterfall Bay Road is also an issue of concern that is being addressed, especially now that it has been improved.
There is still much to do.
