The Manly Federation Boardwalk, adjacent to Manly Pavilion, has been closed for public safety. 

An independent engineering report, prepared for Council, found the walkway has deteriorated to a very poor condition and needs structural repair. 

The report recommended the closure of the boardwalk, which is owned by Transport for NSW and licenced to Council, until works have brought it back to a satisfactory condition. 

Signage has been installed around the area to inform the community and visitors. West Esplanade and Commonwealth Parade are still open and readily accessible. 

Council is working on a plan to rectify the heritage walkway and bring it back into service and will keep the community updated.
