Walkerville Foreshore Camping Reserve Seawall 2019

Project Description

The Walkerville Foreshore Camping Reserve Seawall Augmentation construction project is commencing in October 2019. The project will take place in two stages, at the northern and southern most ends of the camping reserve. The existing seawall will be extended in these areas that are currently not protected by a seawall and are experiencing a high level of erosion. The northern most end comprises approximately 200m of seawall connecting to the existing seawall in the vicinity of the water tank and extending northwards. The southern most section comprises of a 50 metre length of seawall commencing at Seconds Creek and extending northwards to the first set of steps leading up to the kiosk area of the camping reserve. It is estimated that the construction period will be completed by approximately mid December 2019.

The design of the seawall has been prepared by Water Technology and all relevant approvals have been sought for its construction. The seawall will protect the shoreline from erosion including protection of vegetation, infrastructure and the camping reserve camping sites.
