We are in the process of planning for the revitalisation of the iconic Greenmount Headland.
Many of the structures at Greenmount Headland are getting older and are requiring extensive ongoing maintenance. In light of this, the City has started a revitalisation process to replace the existing concrete walkway and timber viewing platforms around the headland with more resilient materials. This aims to reduce maintenance and allow the community to continue enjoying these spaces, safely and without disruption.
The headland is rich with natural beauty and our design aims to enhance and celebrate this with a raised boardwalk made from natural timber that complements the surrounds, whilst protecting the areas beneath. Accessible viewing and seating areas will allow opportunities for our whole community to take in the views and observe the surf.
The revitalisation of these important community assets will ensure a more enjoyable and accessible space for everyone, while also making sure the spaces are resilient in the future.
