Boulder protection of the slope at the Pearl Bay south beach area.
Ecological engineering Mosman’s foreshores
Works are currently being undertaken at Pearl Bay, Spit East Beach and Parriwi Point incorporating ‘ecological engineering’ for seawall works and amenity improvements.
The Pearl Bay works comprise the rehabilitation of over 860m of seawall, incorporating many environmental benefits. The use of a sloping boulder ‘toe’ in front of the seawall and semi aquatic planting will increase habitat in the intertidal zone and mimic a more natural coastline structure. Existing steps will be reconstructed to improved standards and existing beach areas will be supplemented, providing greater opportunity to access the foreshore. Parallel and separate bicycle and pedestrian paths will run the length of the seawall, fringed by landscaped areas with new foreshore seating and picnic tables.
Spit East Beach is seeing the construction of a stepped sandstone block wall which will define and protect an eroding dune face and provide seating for beach users. Sandstone steps will provide access to the foreshore and the eroded boat access will be restored.
Further along the beach at Parriwi Point, a badly eroded seawall has recently been reconstructed. The work is being done as part of Council’s Community Environmental Project (CEC) with grant funding having been secured from various government bodies.
