Council staff from several teams, including those in stormwater, construction & maintenance, transport & civil infrastructure, as well as arts & culture are currently reviewing restoration options and works to fix the patchwork of asphalt on the Manly to Shelly walkway and the Bower Lane roadway, kerb and footpath. This multi team effort reflects the multiple works, and potential works that are planned for the area.

Sydney Water has contributed funds for the works as part of the ‘make good’ provisions after digging the path and road up last year. This will take time as the teams collaborate submit a plan then wait for funding.

We can also expect new wayfinding and compliance signs to be installed as part of this renewal work.

The date of any works remains unknown, but at least they are working on it.

In the meantime the MCF has requested that council ‘blitz’ the walkway to ensure compliance of the current signage which prohibits bikes on the weekends, fishing in the bay and dogs off leash.
