The quantity of filling material deposited in the Reclamation area during the year was about 623,319 cubic yards making a total of 2,869,860 cubic yards. The total area of land formed was approximately 75.03 acres.
Quantities of rock removed from Morrison Hill were utilized to form foundations to the roads traversing the Reclamation in an Easterly and Westerly direction.
Sea-wall. The work of depositing rubble for the foundations was continued, and at the end of the year 4,814 lineal feet of rubble mound was completed. The sea-wall was wholly completed for a length of 4,142 feet, and a further length of 345 feet was partially completed.
On the 14th November a displacement of the sea-wall took place over a distance of about 309 lineal feet. Surveys were undertaken to ascertain the nature of the movement, and the necessary repairs commenced.
