The construction team have completed all groundworks, drainage, blockwork, and kerbs. Pathways, soil works, and planting are nearly complete and barriers, handrails and signage are in production.

The project includes extensive ironstone work that requires careful integration of new works with existing heritage walls, shelters and monuments. The stonemason and his team have nearly completed the ironstone wall and are about to commence on the new archway.

A major challenge for the project has been to ensure that the levels and grades meet accessibility standards which has required careful attention when developing the detailed design and during the construction works.

Proposed work to improve vehicle movement and pedestrian safety at the entry of Govetts Leap Road near the National Parks and Wildlife Service Heritage Centre commenced in early March 2023. Additional traffic control will be in place while this work is completed. Access will remain the same.

The project team are working to have the site ready to reopen in April.
