About the project
The Kangaroo Point cliffs are a popular community space for residents, tourists, and rock climbers, and it is important that we ensure these open spaces are safe and accessible for all.
Like any cliff face, these cliffs are continuously changing through human and natural influences, including weather and vegetation growth. This requires maintenance works to manage the risk of rockfall as the cliff continues to evolve.
We proactively manage the Kangaroo Point cliff face through regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the stability of the cliff face and safety of the community.
Cliff maintenance works – 2024
Construction started in early June 2024 and was complete in late July 2024.
Our remediation works involved a range of specialised construction techniques to:
- remove loose rocks and minor vegetation from the cliff face
- stabilise the rock face with rock pins
- secure a small section of cliff beneath the Kangaroo Point cliff stairs with mesh
- install a protective spray-on concrete (shotcrete) layer on isolated sections of the cliff face.
This work has improved community safety by managing the risk of rockfall as the cliff continues to evolve naturally.
Council will continue to monitor and maintain the cliff face to ensure our open spaces are safe for the community into the future.
