Beach access one step further forward<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE FIRST set of permanent<br />
access steps between the planned<br />
Coastal Pathway and Sumner<br />
beach have been completed.<br />
Work on the second steps<br />
started at the end of February.<br />
City council transport<br />
planning and delivery manager<br />
Lynette Ellis said work on the<br />
4m-wide Coastal Pathway<br />
would start this month once the<br />
rock revetment wall had been<br />
completed.<br />
One crew is currently<br />
working on the Shag Rock<br />
end of the rock revetment<br />
wall towards Gollans Point,<br />
and another crew is working<br />
from the Sumner Surf<br />
Lifesaving Club towards the<br />
other crew.<br />
The rock revetment wall<br />
has been designed to provide<br />
coastal protection to Main Rd,<br />
as well as to support the Coastal<br />
Pathway which will run along<br />
the top.<br />
“The asphalt path will<br />
run between Shag Rock and<br />
Gollans Point, and will then<br />
transition to a boardwalk along<br />
the front of the car park and<br />
the Sumner Surf Lifesaving<br />
Club where it connects with the<br />
EASY ACCESS: Sumner resident Kate Livingston walks up the new beach steps.<br />
existing memorial walkway,” she<br />
said.<br />
Landscaping, planting and<br />
lighting improvements are also<br />
part of the project which is on<br />
schedule to be completed by mid-<br />
October.<br />
The cost of this section of<br />
the Coastal Pathway project<br />
is approximately $6 million.<br />
Once complete the pathway will<br />
run between Ferrymead Bridge<br />
and Scarborough Beach in<br />
Sumner.<br />
The sections between<br />
Ferrymead Bridge and Redcliffs<br />
have been completed and are<br />
operational.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham said he<br />
was delighted to see things<br />
progressing.<br />
“I am aware of some<br />

complaints from locals who have<br />
found accessing the beach at<br />
Shag Rock corner difficult during<br />
the current development phase.<br />
Progress is being made and it<br />
will be great to have beach access<br />
restored at Shag rock corner,” he<br />
said.<br />
