About the project
We have a rolling program of routine inspections across the city to identify embankments and retaining walls in parks, local streets and busy roads where maintenance works may be required.
As part of this ongoing monitoring and maintenance, works to improve cliff safety were completed in late October 2022.
Our works will improve the life of this asset into the future and ensure the safety of people walking, riding and driving in our community.
Project timing
Construction commenced in October 2022 and was complete late October 2022.
Construction
Works included:
- excavation and removal of loose material and debris
- installing of a rock fall fence at the base of the cliff that reaches a height of up to two metres
- minor turfing and landscaping works.
Some vegetation clearing was required, including the removal of three trees. All work was carried out in accordance with the relevant environmental guidelines and Council made every effort to minimise impacts during construction.
