Bondi to Coogee Walk. Landslip remediation works, reinstatement of walk and landscaping

Project constraints included: tight access, working in a graveyard, storm-water control, stabilising cemetery walls, excavation, complex build of the sea-wall & backfilling of material.
Waverley Council mayor John Wakefield described the construction works as a “marvel of engineering
