About the project

In 2022 severe weather during a natural disaster event caused significant damage to this pedestrian beach access path and stairs. As a result, scouring (coastal erosion) has begun to undermine these beach access stairs.

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