Upgrade works on the Ettalong seawall are proceeding following safety concerns about rocks dislodged during recent weather events.
Initial works, which began on February 3, involved replacing the larger loose rocks back into the revetment wall along Lance Webb Reserve.
Further works, to be completed later this month, will involve collecting the undersized loose rocks and using them to make rock bags to be placed along areas of the wall impacted by erosion.
Central Coast Council has engaged the expert coastal consultancy which worked on the Wamberal and North Entrance erosion projects to assist with the project.
The seawall and the immediate area surrounding it will be closed for the duration of the works.
The project has been funded through developer contributions collected in the Contributions Plan No.31C – Peninsula – Open Space and Recreation, aimed at the delivery of dune stabilisation work.
The seawall along Lance Webb Reserve was originally constructed in 2013/14.
