Project Description
In March 2021 Port Stephens Council LGA was impacted by a ‘Declared Natural Disaster’.
One of the affected locations was the slope in Teramby Road, Nelson Bay. This site experienced a landslip during the event from the significant volume of water experienced during the storm resulting in the slope to collapse, and a substantial landslip occurred.
This location requires remediation due to the safety and risk concerns for people, property and the environment.
Project scope:
Site 1
- Remediation of the landslip area by the installation of a retaining wall structure
- Installation of stormwater drainage line to help control stormwater surface runoff
- Construction of a 1.2m reinforced concrete pathway
- Continuation of existing handrail at the top of the embankment
Site 2
- Remediation of the landslip area (further down Teramby Road) to install another retaining wall
- Drainage improvements to existing stormwater
- Improve pedestrian safety with a new pathway alongside the cafe to the dive site
- Upgrade access to dive entry and stairs including a dive preparation table
- Installation of compliance signage for the area
