Thanks for subscribing to receive updates on the action we're taking at Golden Beach – including the TS Onslow seawall and foreshore works – to protect our coastline and coastal communities from the impacts of climate change.
Update: TS Onslow seawall and foreshore works
Works are progressing well as we partner with the Queensland Government to construct a new seawall to protect the foreshore from Nelson Street to the TS Onslow Naval Cadets site in southern Golden Beach.
What to expect next
Early morning concrete pours will occur intermittently over the next 10 to 12 weeks.
Pours may happen two to three mornings per week, starting around 5am and lasting a couple of hours.
Noise disruptions may occur during this time.
These early starts are critical to ensure the concrete sets properly and avoids defects caused by high winds and sunshine. (The earlier the better.)
We appreciate your understanding as we carry out this important stage of construction.
Where we're at
Completed: demolition and removal of old concrete structures along the foreshore, piling to bleachers, removal of temporary piling pad to bleachers, forming the toe of the southern seawall and cadets boat ramp ready for blinding and foundations for the pre-cast wall units.
Underway: constructing concrete formwork to the bleachers prior to concrete pours, delivery and installation of pre-cast units to the seawall and boat ramp, building up the placed rock seawall from the south.
A section of Esplanade is one-wayto safely manage access for vehicles and pedestrians (from Chill Café 89 to Onslow Street) and parking restrictions remain in place.
You can still enjoy the coastal pathway and the beach heading north from Beach Access 319a (Chill Café 89), and access businesses nearby, and south from TS Onslow navy cadets.
We are on track to be completed by December 2025 (through importantly timed work like the early morning concrete pours), weather depending.
