Progress report 6 July 2010

• The contract to construct the new look-out has been awarded with work due to commence in July-August.
• The new steel-framed, timber-decked platform will be cantilevered and use footings set back five metres from the cliff edge, although the platform itself will extend to the edge. This design addresses concerns about the cliff’s long-term stability.
• During the works period, particularly in August, the look-out will be closed. Other adjacent look-outs will however remain open apart from a few critical days.
