The final section linking Apex Park to the Kianga bus stop is still however a long away from completion with a route and funding outstanding.

Workers are reasonably confident of finishing the couple of hundred metres outstanding at Duesbury's beach in the same area where Eurobodalla Shire Council workers are creating a new entrance and car park.

Volunteer Dave Fox explained the 15 or so formwork volunteers were completing a 100-metre section ready for a concrete pour this Saturday when the 12 or so concrete volunteers would be working.

There was then another section from the new Duesbury's entrance to the finished section to the south.

The only remaining missing link was the Kianga bridge where council workers had already made good progress with a promise of having it complete by Christmas.

This means the pathway between the Dalmeny shops and Kianga bus stop should be done by the busy school holidays.

There is pressure on the council to complete the last section to Narooma's Apex Park, but councillor Lindsay Brown conceding this was potentially the most challenging as it ran through swamp and along the beach.

"We're so close and yet so far," he said.

Pathway committee member Gail Knight who owns a bed and breakfast along this section said it was vital this section was completed as the alternative to travel along the road was very unsafe.

She recalled walking potential route with former mayor Neil Mumme and other pathway supporters back at the beginning of the pathway project and said her personnel preference was for the pathway to run along the beach behind the swamp that was actually an old sand quarry.

Mr Fox said volunteers had the expectation that council will put out two alternative routes for public comment early next year with committee members already working on approaches to seek funding.

Finding additional Federal dollars for the project will be challenging with the communities of Moruya and Tuross launching their own pathway projects.

The Narooma community however remains committed to the project with the Narooma Veteran Touch Football players handing over $500 to the pathway last week, funds raised from their sportsman’s night with another $500 going to the Emma McMillan fund.
