Coastal protection works keep erosion at bay

Over the winter months, the City has been busy along the coast repairing and upgrading accessways and undertaking coastal protection works. Retaining at Hamersley Beach was improved with the innovative use of kyowa rock-bags.

Retaining around the Trigg Island (north) zig-zag access was undertaken, and the North Beach Jetty access ramp underwent some repairs that required craning a small digger onto the beach. Finally, new limestone steps will make access a little easier for beach goers at the little beach just north of Bailey Street.

More information on coastal erosion and the City's Coastal Hazard and Risk Management and Adaptation Planning is available on our Coastal Environment and Management page.
