Foreshore Access Plan Stage 2

Construction of a new 2.5km section of the new coast park that traversed a variety of natural and urban environments and complemented the breathtaking coastline, while improving beach access. Features of the project included:

  • Construction of a new 3m wide concrete shared access path for the length of the project
  • Significant rock revetment works abutting the Onkaparinga River along Weatherald Terrace
  • Construction of new boardwalk and stair connection to the existing pedestrian bridge spanning the river
  • Construction of three new car parks including shelters, seating and general landscaping
  • Road realignment works along Weatherald Terrace to facilitate construction of the new shared use path
  • Road realignment works along Saltfleet Street to facilitate construction of the new shared use path.

The rock revetment works were technically challenging. Construction was staged in 10m sections to minimise sedimentation risk and damage to partially complete works due to tidal actions. The works were undertaken in line with the relevant Marine Parks and Water Affecting Permits.
