Where are the Coastal Protection Works up to?

Background


The Eurobodalla Shire Council has informed us that the long-term solutions to provide protection against coastal erosion at Long Beach is a sloped rock revetment. We have again asked council to consult with the community during the next phase to ensure that community views are considered prior to finalising the detailed design.


LBCA Feedback to council on 9 July 2024


The Long Beach Community Association represents a diverse mix of community members with differing views and therefore we will not be backing any one particular option for the coastal protection works. However, we would like to provide comments/feedback on community expectations and the outcomes the protection works should aim to achieve. These include:

In addition, planning for the Long Beach foreshore protection works should give consideration to broader community needs in terms of foreshore access, and where they might be located along Bay Road, including:


We also note that there is an additional community-developed solution being put forward to Eurobodalla Shire Council. It is a combination of Option 2 (rock wall) and Option 3 (geotextile bags). We encourage the Executive, Project Managers and the designers to consider the proposal as part of the concept design phase. 


We would also like to request that the Long Beach Community Association continue to be included and consulted going forward. In particular, once the preferred option has been identified, we would appreciate the opportunity to be involved in the conceptual design phase of the preferred option. This will ensure that community views are considered prior to finalising the detailed design.
