The Hunts Lookout footbridge in Cremorne Reserve is being replaced after being partially destroyed by a large coral tree, which fell in December 2022.
The tree that fell down and smashed through a section of the footbridge on the Mosman side, was totally removed and associated debris was completed in late January 2023.
Due to the condition of the timber subframe, it was determined that full replacement was necessary. Subsequently, Council appointed a structural engineer to design a replacement footbridge that complies with current Australian Standards, complements the natural environment of Hunts Lookout, and uses construction materials that can be transported to the site by hand.
North Sydney and Mosman Councils are aware of the important link this footbridge provides to the community and are working to complete its replacement as soon as possible.
Construction dates will be communicated via signage at the site and updates to Council’s website.
