Chunks of Oceanview Avenue at Dover Heights washed into the ocean on Saturday night when the ground gave way during heavy rain creating a 10-metre sinkhole.

Heavy rain across Sydney overnight caused the end of a clifftop street at Dover Heights to collapse into a 10-metre sinkhole.

Chunks of Oceanview Avenue at Dover Heights washed into the ocean on Saturday night when the ground gave way during heavy rain. "They came out after we complained, picked up all the rocks and repaired it sort of temporarily," he said.Mr Scotts urged the council to "get off their butt" and do something about the worsening erosion at the end of his street, saying the whole neighbourhood is "really disappointed".

"Last night, council officers fenced off/barricaded the site, and the council is working on next steps with the contractor," the spokesperson said. Sunday is the 13th consecutive day of rain in Sydney, as recorded by the Observatory Hill weather station.
