Old seawall at Surfer’s Corner being removed, sandstone rocks preserved for re-use

The refurbishment of the Muizenberg beachfront

The refurbishment of the Muizenberg beachfront entails major upgrades to public amenities and replacing the aged seawalls.

‘The project is moving along well, despite the rainy weather. I visited the beachfront a few days ago, and the project team confirmed that all is on track to open the eastern parking area on the beach side, in front of the Muizenberg Civic Centre, to the public by 1 August 2025. I know our surfing community will be very excited to hear this.

‘Next, is the removal of sections of the existing seawall at Surfer’s Corner. These original sandstone rocks that make up the wall will be stored, and later assessed for incorporation into the new design as they are key to the corner’s heritage. The next community meeting is on 20 August 2025, at 17:30, at the Zandvlei Lookout. I encourage local residents and business owners to attend to get the latest updates about the project timelines and progress,’ said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.
