The draft infrastructure deliver programme was released by council just days before floods hit the region on Saturday, April 6. At a Wollongong council meeting on Monday, April 8 Councillor David Brown said the destruction over the weekend may well have an effect on shaping and changing the infrastructure priorities.
"What we do over the next year may well need some fine tuning given the weekend's event," Cr Brown said.
"You may probably have to shift some funds from capital works commitments to maintenance, and the state and federal government's disaster declarations may well influence how we go about funding the program and indeed the entirety of the work."
Among the works proposed includes the construction of a cycle pathway on the Princes Hwy from North Wollongong Station to Guest Ave, Fairy Meadow.
It also includes extending the Grand Pacific Walk to Austinmer, building a new car park at Swan Street, east of Corrimal Street in Wollongong, a new Wombat Crossing in Gilchrist Street, Austinmer.
Other works include a new cycle path on Church Street, Wollongong between Crown Street and Swan Street.
The operational plan and infrastructure delivery program will be on public exhibition until May 7.
