Commencing: 24 July 2025
Completion: 30 August 2025
Construction of a pillar approximately 1.25m in circumference and 2.5m in height will be added to support the cave's roof structure.
These are preventative maintenance measures designed to support the cave structure to mitigate visitor risk. These works will support the cliff escarpment and slow weather-related erosion, providing longer-term benefits to the lighthouse.
There will be no access restrictions for visitors to the surrounding areas.
