VICTORIA, Seychelles, Phase one of the Beau Vallon promenade redevelopment project officially begins today, and members of the public are advised to be aware of marked trees that will be cut down in the area where the project is set to take place. The marked trees will be removed as part of the initial preparation work for the redevelopment. Authorities are urging residents and visitors to take note of the safety signage in the area.
Approximately 10 trees have already been marked, following permission from the forestry department, and the redevelopment project will be done in a controlled area. It is estimated that all the designated trees will be removed within two weeks. The tree removal is necessary to make way for the new promenade infrastructure and improved public amenities.
The redevelopment project has been long-awaited by residents and business owners in the Beau Vallon area, who have been calling for improvements to the popular beachfront. The new promenade is expected to enhance the visitor experience while also providing better facilities for local communities. The project is part of a broader plan to upgrade tourism infrastructure across Mahé.
Local businesses have expressed their support for the project, noting that the improved promenade will attract more visitors to the area and boost economic activity. The redevelopment will include new walkways, seating areas, lighting, and landscaping designed to highlight the natural beauty of Beau Vallon beach. The project team has been working closely with community partners to ensure minimal disruption during the construction phase.
The first phase of the project is expected to be completed within the next few months, with subsequent phases to follow based on funding and planning approvals. Regular updates on the project’s progress will be shared with the public through the responsible authorities. The Beau Vallon promenade redevelopment represents a significant investment in the future of Seychelles’ tourism industry and the quality of life for local residents.
