The City of Cockburn has scheduled rectification works to address beach erosion and sand drift at C.Y. O’Connor Beach (north) and the Rollinson Road park area.
An experienced contractor, MCS Civil, has been engaged to carefully remove sand that has built up within the dune vegetation, and to carry out sand nourishment and beach reprofiling to restore the affected section of beach.
Works are scheduled to commence with mobilisation to site on Wednesday 11 February, with completion expected by 2–3 March, weather permitting.
The northern section of C.Y. O’Connor Beach, between Island Street Groyne and Catherine Point, will be closed to the public on weekdays during this period. The beach will reopen on weekends, with the area made safe each Friday afternoon. Barrier fencing and signage will be in place.
The shared coastal path near the end of Rollinson Road will be closed for approximately two days at the start of works, with a signed detour through the park and around the rear of the toilet block.
