Project Update - Machinery on the beach building new seawall

The project reached its first major milestone! The arrival at the Bucknell St beach ramp.

The lower section of the old ramp has been removed in preparation for its replacement, which will extend deeper into the beach. Once the ramp is complete, the replacement of the adjacent concrete stairs will commence.

All rock from the original seawall has been recycled back into the new seawall, which has environmental and community benefits.

We listened to your feedback and have updated the design accordingly! The seawall upgrades will now provide four formalised beach access points, following the feedback provided during the community consultation. These are:

  • The southern end (near the lifeguard tower)
  • Bucknell Street
  • Leggett Park
  • Strong Reserve towards the northern end.

We are grateful for the ongoing support and patience from the community for this project!
