Project Background

Waverley Council is upgrading sections of the boardwalk along the Clifftop Walkway at Dover Heights and Vaucluse to make it safer and more enjoyable for all users.

This project is proudly co-funded through the NSW Government's Public Spaces Legacy Program and Waverley Council.

Project Update - November 2024

We are thrilled to announce that the construction upgrade works on the Diamond Bay boardwalk are complete and that this section of the Clifftop Walkway is once again open to the public.

Works are ongoing on Eastern Reserve boardwalk. Due to inclement weather and required stabilisation and stormwater works on Oceanview Ave and George St, Eastern Reserve boardwalk is scheduled to be complete in late Summer of early 2025, weather permitting.

We thank you for your continued patience while these works have been in progress.

Diamond Bay Boardwalk Complete

The Clifftop Walkway Upgrade includes:

  • Improved viewing decks, stairs, balustrades and handrails to improve accessibility and lifespan of the new structure
  • Lookout spaces with viewing platforms, seating and signage at key locations to capture the spectacular coastal views.
  • Main entry upgrades at Lancaster Road, Bulga Road, Oceanview Avenue and Kimberley Street to include directional signage, seating, bins and a bubbler at key pedestrian entry points to support visitors use and enjoyment of the walkway.
  • New coastal fencing and road barriers at the Kimberley St entrance to improve safety.
  • New coastal fencing and stormwater upgrades at George St to protect the sensitive clifftop environment below.
  • New staircases in Eastern Reserve to improve accessibility and safety.
  • Protection and expansion of existing indigenous vegetation along the walking route to strengthen the biodiversity corridor along the coastal edge.

Construction along Eastern Reserve will be completed by late summer in early 2025, weather permitting.
