The Altona Beach entry project is being delivered by Hobsons Bay City Council in partnership with the Victorian Government, with Stage 1 construction beginning shortly.
This project is part of Council’s Open Space Strategy and is supported by funding from the Victorian Government, in particular $4.4M from the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions as part of its Suburban Revitalisation program and $1.4M from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action as part of their Coastal Protection program.
Works include:
- the addition of a new pedestrian promenade
- upgraded sea wall
- feature decked seating
- improved lighting
- sculptures
- public amenities such as showers, drinking fountain, public furniture and shade structures.
Additionally, the project will involve the installation of an irrigation system, as well as various road and landscape enhancements, and tree plantings.
Stage 1 works are scheduled to begin in July 2024 and will be completed by December 2024, weather permitting.
During this time areas of the foreshore will be fenced off to allow construction works to be undertaken and we ask that you do not access these areas for safety reasons. Public access to Altona Beach will be reopened for the summer period.
The contractor’s site compound will be located on the Esplanade between McBain Street and Sargood Street.
Please note, there will be changes to traffic flow and parking in the street, and that traffic management will be in place.
