The Craig Ave boat ramp repairs have been completed and now the contractor is working to complete the remaining works at Little Manly.

Despite the rain and some stoppages to allow the Department of Heritage to check the area for human remains the work is on time for completion before summer. After the large sandstone steps are installed the area will be turfed, memorial benches replaced and a picnic table and shelter added at the rear of the park in memory of Ray Mathieson our recently passed chair. A hard footpath will also be completed to allow access in front of the cafe.

Work to demolish the adjacent council owned property, 40 Stuart St, and incorporate the area into the park will commence in March 2023. This will take some time as the demolition is complicated by the presence of asbestos and lead paint.

The cafe is also taking advantage of the slow winter trading to complete their work. We look forward to summer when all the work is finished.

Work on the toilets promised for the carpark area at Little Manly Point Park and at Shelly beach will commence in January 2023.
