The council said a number of steps had been completed in the “landside” phase of the project.
This includes putting lifted welfare site offices in place for the contractor Smith & Brenson, as well as installing storage units and relocating the Birnbeck Regeneration Trust information hub.
In the last week the contractor has cleared all rubbish from site, temporarily widened the entrance between the car park and the promenade for essential site access, started to demolish the small modern red brick building in the car park and finished installing temporary essential services to site - including power and water.

They have also had various site visits including from the council's funding partner Historic England, as well as the council's principal conservation officer and a specialist restoration company.
A spokesperson for North Somerset Council said: “These visits are an essential part of our plan to carefully remove and store heritage items before they are restored by specialists. These items include the listed turnstiles at the entrance to the pier.
“Specialist maritime contractor TMS Ltd, who delivered the first phase of emergency and safety works on Birnbeck Island at the end of last year, are also on site again carrying out essential sea wall repairs.
“This work is being funded from an allocation of £4.47m from the £20m awarded to the council by the UK Government through the former Levelling Up Fund.
“Just a reminder that anyone visiting is encouraged to travel by bus and rail. If you need to drive, the nearest alternative pay and display car park is Madeira Road.”
