    Middle Brighton outer low landing and breakwater closures

    The Middle Brighton outer low landing and breakwater are closed for public safety. 

    A fence has been installed at the start of the breakwater preventing access. Engineering assessments have determined the steel reinforcement of the concrete decking has failed and the concrete decking is not supported by the rock wall. This area may collapse without warning.

    The closed areas extend from the marina's hardstand entrance to the asphalt topped breakwater and low landing. It is dangerous and structurally unsafe for walking and/or vehicle access.

    The inner low landing remains open to pedestrians and for recreational activities.
