The 9.1 kilometre walk is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region. It is also extensively used by local residents.
The Port News is asking readers to take five minutes to complete the survey (see below). We will forward our results to council for inclusion in the discussion.
There have already been 40 responses to the survey.
The master plan will be used by council to attract potential funding opportunities from a number of sources.
The coastal walk leads from Westport Park along the beautiful Hastings River and the breakwall. It continues along the coastline to the Tacking Point Lighthouse.
It currently hugs the coastline although some sections include beach walking and some bush tracks.
The walk is popular with walkers, runners, sightseers and photographers. It has also been a vantage point to whale watch.
The survey wants to find out how you use the walk, if you have a favourite section and if you believe the walk could be improved.
The Port News survey ends on Friday May 26. Feedback to council ends on May 28.
