Randwick City Council has commenced rock stabilisation works to the Clovelly Headland following significant erosion caused by the April 2015 Sydney storms.

The works, expected to take up to eight weeks, involve installing sandstone boulders along the headland, towards Shark Point to stabilise the land and reduce erosion.

Randwick Mayor, Ted Seng said the works are vital for coastal protection and should be completed by spring.

"We are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Sydney, and as a responsible Council, it is essential that we protect this picturesque coastline," Mayor Seng said.

"The April storms caused some damage in this area and fast-tracked the need to complete this work.

"The work will include some excavation, installation of natural sandstone boulders and minor landscaping works," Mayor Seng said.

"Thankfully, it will be completed well before the summer season, reducing the impact on our residents and visitors."

The project is due to be completed in August 2015 (weather pending).

Council advises that throughout the course of the works, noise, erosion and dust controls will be used to mitigate any adverse impacts on the surrounding environment and community.

Shark Point – a local fishing and dive spot – will not be accessible during this time.
