Georges River Council has successfully completed the Donnelly Park Foreshore construction works.
The aim of the work was to replace the aging seawall structure with a new, environmentally resilient foreshore, enhancing habitat and improve community access.
This project was partially funded by the NSW Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
Key foreshore features included:
- Saltmarsh habitat to support marine life, boost biodiversity and help manage flooding and erosion.
- Foreshore stabilisation to improve performance during tidal and storm events.
- New terracing and stairs providing safer access to improve direct connection to the water.
- Additional seating and picnic areas to create a more welcoming community space.
- Planting and landscaping to integrate the works with the natural foreshore setting.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said, "The Donnelly Park Foreshore Construction project has delivered major benefits for the local environment.
"It also ensures our community can enjoy and access the area more safely. I encourage all members of our community to visit the newly upgraded area.
"I'd also like to extend a big thank you to community members who participated in the community engagement."
