The original concrete ramp was removed following storm damage that caused large sinkholes in the Esplanade in front of the clubrooms.
Council roading maintenance engineer Peter Standring said discussions were still being held with the club about options for the ramp.
At this stage, because of the effects on it of the water and sand, the ramp would probably be located at the north end of the Esplanade and sea wall, running north on to the beach, rather than coming out at a right angle from the sea wall towards the water, as it used to.
Mr Standring said the area of the Esplanade where holes appeared was still exposed for engineering inspections, but the promenade pavers should be reinstated by the end of the month.
Consultants hired by the council to review the available information about the marine and beach environment around the sea wall were expected to finish that work by mid to late October.
They would be speaking to the range of previous consultants on the wall to inform their report.
The report to the council would identify extra information that was needed before long-term options for the protection of the beach and sea wall could be developed, Mr Standring said.
A public forum would take place after the report was considered by the council.
