Garvey Park 'Section 2' foreshore stabilisation and landscaping works

We’re restoring the riverbank and caring for the public amenities along a 330m section of the Garvey Park foreshore.

The riverbank located between Ascot Kayak Club and Hilton Grove (Section 2) is facing erosion issues, and requires stabilisation works to protect the foreshore and restore the natural area.

With erosion impacting the existing infrastructure, we're using this opportunity to improve and future-proof the surrounding amenities for the community to enjoy.

The works are being undertaken in close consultation with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attraction to ensure protection of our natural assets and local wildlife.

Community feedback

We invited community feedback on the stabilisation and landscaping works to ensure the final design continues to align with the values and needs of the community.

The feedback period closed on Sunday 22 September 2024. Keep an eye on this page for further updates regarding the project.

Project scope

The stabilisation works include removal of existing timber walls and installation of limestone block walls and rock revetments.

Works will also include installation of a floating jetty, new footpath and walkways, a grassed recreation area, and expansion of the existing carpark.
