Continuing its successful foreshore habitat improvement program, Georges River Council constructed its largest eco-shoreline/environmentally friendly seawall project along the remaining sections of seawall at Carss Bush Park. Stage Two is a 1.0ha project area incorporates a 130m of concrete vertical seawall, 80m concrete stormwater channel and associated parkland in the western section of the park. This project saw the removal of the existing concrete seawall and the creation of a mudflat/beach environment with a vegetated coastal dune constructed behind. The original concrete stormwater channel was removed, and a ‘naturalised’ creek line developed with a larger mouth to emulate natural creek lines entering into the Georges River. The creek environment will include saltmarsh, mangrove, and rocky intertidal areas along the sandstone and sediment based waterway. Stage Three is a 0.7ha project area focused on 292m of concrete vertical seawall on Carss Point, connecting the two previous stages. The focus of this stage is was designed to be consistent with the construction designs of the earlier two stages of the project, to emulate the historic shape of Carss Point, and the establishment of estuarine habitat communities. These communities include saltmarsh, intertidal rock platform, and mudflat habitats introduced through the use of sandstone terraces, concrete construction, and ‘rip-rap’ zones. Other features incorporated into the foreshore include a small boat ramp for the local remote control sailing club, and an overwater boardwalk section to improve community use.
Georges River Council has engaged a contractor to complete the design, construction and landscaping works for Poulton Park Synthetic Field Construction. This project will focus on improving recreational sporting facilities within the local area by constructing a main and training synthetic football surface, drainage and pavement at Poulton Park. The project will also focus on improving the community’s use of the areas through the construction of new paths.
