The City Beach Groyne Upgrade is a new project as a result <strong>of</strong> a complete assessment<br />
undertaken <strong>of</strong> its structural integrity in 2009. The upgrade <strong>of</strong> this groyne will include<br />
repositioning and repacking <strong>of</strong> existing armour rock and the placement <strong>of</strong> new armour rock to<br />
strengthen it. This includes increasing the length <strong>of</strong> the rock armour (not the groyne or the<br />
path) protecting the core eastwards by approximately 25 metres, stopping approximately 15<br />
metres short <strong>of</strong> the eastern end <strong>of</strong> the existing groyne path.<br />
The total cost <strong>of</strong> the project has been estimated at $420,000 based on 2012 prices. This<br />
amount is proposed to be made up <strong>of</strong> funds/contributions as follows:<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Transport $210,000<br />
Existing <strong>Council</strong> Funds from 2011/12 FY Nil<br />
Additional Funds requested 2012/13 FY $210,000<br />
Total: $420,000<br />
This project can be staged over two years, however, to do this the estimated cost <strong>of</strong> the total<br />
project is increased to $540,000. Preliminary discussions with the Department <strong>of</strong> Transport<br />
indicate that the project may attract 50/50 grant funding and expressions <strong>of</strong> interest applications<br />
will be invited in early 2012. For further details refer to attachment 2 <strong>of</strong> this report.<br />
