In March 2021 Port Stephens Council LGA was impacted by a ‘Declared Natural Disaster’.

One of the affected locations was the slope in Teramby Road, Nelson Bay. This site experienced a landslip during the event from the significant volume of water experienced during the storm resulting in the slope to collapse, and a substantial landslip occurred.

This location requires remediation due to the safety and risk concerns for people, property and the environment.

Project Scope

Site 1

• Remediation of the landslip area by the installation of a retaining wall structure
• Installation of stormwater drainage line to help control stormwater surface runoff
• Construction of a 1.2m reinforced concrete pathway
• Continuation of existing handrail at the top of the embankment

Site 2

• Remediation of the landslip area (further down Teramby Road) to install another retaining wall
• Drainage improvements to existing stormwater
• Improve pedestrian safety with a new pathway alongside the cafe to the dive site
• Upgrade access to dive entry and stairs including a dive preparation table
• Installation of compliance signage for the area
