Long Reef boardwalk repairs underway

Urgent and fast-tracked repairs to the timber boardwalk connecting Long Reef beach and headland are set to be underway in the coming days after the walkway was severely damaged by the intense weather and large swells last week.

Walkers are advised to avoid the area and fences have been erected to ensure public safety.

We know how much the community value this walk, especially at this time, which is why we prioritised the temporary fix to the boardwalk.

The ageing boardwalk will be completely replaced in 2022 with planning brought forward to this year, so we can deliver a permanent and brand new solution in the first half of next year.

We ask that the public be patient while the work is undertaken and to protect the fragile and important dune system, please avoid walking through the area. Walking through the golf course is dangerous as you may be hit by a flying ball.

The work is expected to take two weeks, weather permitting.
