Extension by means of a coping, approximately three feet, in height, of a sea wall in Estuary road from Beach street to Jones’ corner (Lot 6, D.P. 1178). Bathing facilities. Straightening and making road at Clifton Bay and widening corner (in conjunction with Main Highways Board). Completion of reading and paths in the valley area. Drainage and levelling of playing area at Redcliffs. Road widening at Monck’s Spur road bend; road widening on Clifton; road widening and parking-area at Taylor’s Mistake. Boat harbour and road construction, Scarborough, seafront. If the property can be made available, development of the Redcliffs rifle range as a reserve.
