Council chief executive officer Ray Brownlee said it had been a âlong and arduous processâ.
âI am pleased to see construction for the first collection of residents who have been able to work together to get their portion under way, with further residents due to start in the coming months,â he said.
Resident Bob Orth is within that first group of 10 properties, collectively paying roughly $3 million to build a 130m stretch of sea wall entirely on private land between Stuart and Wetherill streets.
Each of the stakeholders signed a commitment to fund the project before work commenced.
