Ettalong Beach, NSW
Overview
BEEP was engaged by Central Coast Council to carry out stairway safety upgrades at Lance Webb Reserve, Ettalong Beach. The project involved extending two public beach access stairs, adding new landings and additional steps to future-proof pedestrian access in response to ongoing erosion.
