Hobsons Bay City Council has delivered the Altona Beach entry project in partnership with the Victorian Government.
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.
Stage 2 Construction completion
The Altona Beach redevelopment has been completed ahead of schedule. The enhanced community space is ready for summer and open for the community and visitors to enjoy.
Highlights include:
• Landscaping
• Upgrading the seawall
• New seating and picnic areas
• Misting features for water play
• Improved lighting
• Upgraded facilities
• Realignment of the beach entry with Pier Street.
Following community consultation, the area between the foreshore and Weaver Reserve has been transformed into a pedestrian promenade, creating a safer link with the beach and Altona Lifesaving Club, public toilets and shops.
The project was supported by the Victorian Government as part of the Suburb Revitalisation Program and Coastal Protection Program.
