Work has started to repair a river wall holding up one of Newcastle's most popular pathways more than a year after safety fencing was installed on the stretch.

City of Newcastle is investing $350,000 into the Throsby Creek river wall at Wickham, which runs adjacent to a pathway used heavily by cyclists, pedestrians and the weekly Newy Parkrun.
