This is a significant milestone for the project, particularly given the expanded scope made possible by additional funding from both the Federal and State Governments.

Delivered by Buttrose Earthmovers, the seawall works have strengthened and reshaped the coastal defence to better withstand the impacts of erosion and climate change. Key elements of the repair included:

  • Placing large toe rocks (up to five tonnes) to support the base of the wall.
  • Installing new, larger armour rocks to replace and reinforce the existing structure.
  • Reshaping and raising the seawall to include a new crest, helping to break up wave energy and reduce overtopping.

This vital infrastructure work ensures long-term protection of the cliffs and supports safe access for future generations.

In parallel with final seawall activities, the contractor also prepared the base for the new trail, allowing us to streamline the next stage of works and bring forward the overall project timeline.
