• Using the barge, piles are installed ready for splicing/welding.
• A third-party contractor is conducting tests on the driven piles to ensure they have reached the necessary refusal strength. This process allows us to quickly evaluate key factors such as the pile’s load-bearing capacity, the stress on the steel, the overall integrity of the pile, and the effectiveness of the pile driving process.
• Once the piles have successfully passed these tests, we will move forward with installing the seawall panels.
• Carter Marine are anticipated to complete the seawall, jetties, and all associated works by December 2025.

The carpark design is in the concept stage and will progress to the preliminary stage over the coming month. The preliminary design will be made available on YourSay following the Council Election period.
