The new land is set to be protected by new coastal defense structures, including two new breakwaters forming a sheltered bay.

The proposal would also provide for public access along this section of shoreline west of the V&A Waterfront, extending the existing public promenade.

New public amenities will include the new bay, providing sheltered waters for boating, kayaking, and swimming.

Land-based amenities will include a coastal public walkway, a slipway, a fixed quayside, a landscaped promenade, tidal pools, pedestrian paths, and open areas.
