Project Update: Seawall Repair and Trail Completion

Seawall repair works are progressing well and on track to be completed by the end of June. This is a major achievement, especially considering the expanded scope of the project, made possible through additional funding secured from both the federal and state governments.

The seawall contractor, Buttrose Earthmovers, is preparing the base for the new path, coordinating this work with completion of the seawall crest. By carrying out this work early, we can streamline the construction process and bring forward the overall completion of the trail.

The City of Onkaparinga has recently appointed Neo Infrastructure, a Lonsdale-based company, to deliver the final stage of the project. This will include construction of the asphalt path, installation of fencing and solar lighting.

These works are scheduled to begin immediately after the seawall repairs are complete and are expected to take approximately six weeks.

Based on this timeline, we anticipate the full trail will be completed and open for the community to enjoy by mid-August.

As part of the final stage, lighting will also be installed near the completed section of asphalt along the currently opened path. During these works, there may be temporary fencing and exclusion zones in place to ensure the safety of all path users. We kindly ask everyone to follow any signage and avoid entering construction areas. This will help keep people safe and minimise disruptions.

We look forward to completing the trail and thank the community for its continued support and patience during the construction period.

Construction is generally undertaken during the hours of 7am and 5.30pm Monday to Saturday, however there may be work outside of these hours due to site conditions such as weather.

Throughout the construction period, there will be some impacts on the surrounding area, such as increased construction traffic and noise.

The Port Noarlunga boat ramp will be closed, with the exception of the emergency services who will still have access.

A site office has be established in Port Noarlunga, and certain areas will have restricted access to ensure public safety.
