October 2026

We're pleased to advise that construction works for the Old Slipway Storm Damage Repair Project are scheduled to commence on 1 October 2026.

The project involves the installation of new sheet piling to help protect the Old Slipway and surrounding foreshore area from ongoing erosion and storm-related impacts. These improvements will support the long-term stability and resilience of this important community asset.

Public access to the area will be maintained throughout the construction period wherever possible. To ensure the safety of both the public and contractor personnel, minor temporary exclusion zones may be required during certain stages of the works. Signage will be in place to guide visitors around any restricted areas.

Works are expected to be completed by 24 December 2026, subject to weather and site conditions.

We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation while these important works are undertaken and look forward to delivering a more resilient Old Slipway for future generations.
