Project updates are provided in the tab below.

The seawall at the old slipway is an important feature of our waterfront. Stretching about 45 metres, it was originally built to support the former slipway.

Today, the slipway site is managed by Council and has been transformed into a vibrant community and visitor precinct. The seawall itself is owned by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), and together we’re working to maintain and protect this valued area for everyone to enjoy.

In August 2024, a section of the seawall was damaged during severe storm conditions. Funding was secured through the Victorian Government’s Severe Weather Event Recovery Program to replace the seawall, and this funding has been provided to Council through a grant agreement with DEECA.

The slipway precinct has since become a popular destination for visitors, and both Council and DEECA have worked together to ensure the seawall is rebuilt to protect this area. DEECA completed the design, and Council will manage the construction works.

The works will involve the removal of the damaged section of seawall and the construction of a new sheet pile seawall with a concrete capping beam. We anticipate that the works will commence after Anzac Day 2026.
