Relentless rain has delayed the replacement of the Nielsen Park seawall, meaning it will not be finished by December as planned | michaelkoziol
Sydney has endured a rough run of summers, sullied by bushfire and smoke, COVID restrictions, rain and floods. This summer, the city will be without one of its favourite beaches.
The project began in March and was scheduled for completion by December, just in time for the busy summer period. At the time, NPWS said it had budgeted a number of days for adverse weather but warned extended bad weather could delay completion. Shark Beach at Nielsen Park is a Sydney favourite and is on Tourism Australia’s list of the city’s top beaches.Earlier this year NPWS Greater Sydney director Deon van Rensburg said the new seawall would be the same length as the old one and give greater protection to Nielsen Park. The works would also include a wheelchair-accessible ramp, resurfaced promenade and a slight increase to the lawn and beach surface areas.
