Barwon Coast Update – October 25th

SURF BEACH COMPLEX BUILD ON TRACK

If you have visited Ocean Grove main beach lately you will have noticed that the Surf Beach Complex is really starting to take shape. Construction of the complex is on time with the completion date still on target for mid-April 2019. The surf lifesaving Patrol Tower is on track to be completed in mid-November – in time for the start of the summer patrol season. The main building is also well advanced with the concrete for the upper level due to be poured by the end of October.

COASTAL EROSION  AT OCEAN GROVE  MAIN BEACH
