Restoration of shared Oceanway

Commencing 4 June, the City will restore approximately 60 to 80 linear meters of 3.5 meter Oceanway between 12 and 16 Darwalla Avenue that was demolished during the construction of a seawall (as approved under SARA 2012-20196). Works are due to be completed in August 2021.

Works will take place during standard daytime hours (between 6.30am and 5pm).

Construction details and impacts include:

- The pathway footprint will remain the same as the original, however, the height will be slightly raised and include different gradients from the original; the height adjustment is unavoidable due to the seawall construction.

- The gradient adjustments may or may not impact the existing timber stairs near 12 Darwalla Avenue, the City will ensure the stairs remain compliant post-construction.

- Site fences will be installed in the work area and alongside the sand dunes (see map below).

- The pathway will be closed at times during works; a detour will be in place for path users (see map below).

- Site access and material/plant delivery will be via Teemangum Street and Len Wort Park; partial lane closures to Teemangum Street may be required at times and traffic control/spotters will be on-site.
