The Byron Shire Council says a badly eroded section of Simpsons Creek near the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club has been fixed.
The bank had reportedly been steadily eroding for a long time but becoming worse in recent months, with washout having taken out a section of the gravel footpath and a light.
Council staff say contractors have filled the washout with sand and compacted it, taking care not to damage nearby tree roots.
Byron Shire Council Acting Director of Infrastructure Services Malcolm Robertson says the area is environmentally sensitive and has been fenced off to allow the bank to stabilise and newly planted native grasses and other species to take hold.
The Brunswick Heads Progress Association has worked with the contractors to make a new car park marked by large rocks.
The footpath is also being repaired and the damaged lighting replaced.
