Commemorative pavers find their new home 

November 05, 2026

The commemorative pavers that have welcomed children, families and visitors since 2010 have been given a new lease on life. Originally installed as part of Cottage by the Sea's 120th anniversary celebrations, the engraved and hand-drawn pavers were carefully relocated to make way for the construction of our new Riptide facility. 

The commemorative pavers that have welcomed children, families and visitors since 2010 have been given a new lease on life. Originally installed as part of Cottage by the Sea's 120th anniversary celebrations, the engraved and hand-drawn pavers were carefully relocated to make way for the construction of our new Riptide facility. 

Now beautifully re-laid and incorporated into the refreshed landscaping, the pavers continue to honour the generosity and support of our community while preserving an important part of Cottage's history. The revitalised display looks fantastic and ensures these special tributes remain a visible part of Cottage grounds for years to come. 

 A special thank you to The Gordon TAFE, whose support helped bring the project to life.
