The accessible ramp to the pier is complete. Works are underway on the rain garden in the upper car park and are due for completion this week. Raised crossing in the upper car park has been completed and is open for traffic.
Realignment of the shared use path on Beach Road is due for completion this week.
Next on the program is installation of the boardwalk down to Cerberus way which will commence in mid-August and due for completion by mid-September. This is a slightly later time than originally forecast due to unexpected delays in obtaining the boardwalk deck materials.
