The latest

22/4/2024 - Council has recently been in discussions with consultants regarding preferred construction methods for this asset repair.

About the project

In 2022 severe weather and large waves during a natural disaster event caused significant damage to this pedestrian beach access path and stairs. The now, severely eroded bank beneath the stairs has exposed the support beams. Repair will involve the reconstruction of the staircase and the foundation elements of this structure. 

The recent approval for Commonwealth disaster recovery funding marks a key milestone in council's efforts to repair the damage and restore the best functionality to this beach access asset. Communication and progress tracking will be maintained to keep all stakeholders informed throughout the repair process.
