ASSESSING
and prioritising foreshore areas The joint Community and Council Working Group inspected the foreshore to identify factors that would influence the foreshore treatment designs.
Aspects recorded included: • t ype and condition of current foreshore protection structures (public and private), • p resence and condition of public assets and recreation areas,
The Working Group identified the extent of active erosion, the width of land from shoreline to property boundaries, and public safety hazards as the three most significant risks that should guide the prioritisation of foreshore works.
• seagrass wrack build-up areas, • foreshore walking access, • a vailable land width for potential protection works, and • p ublic safety hazards, such as exposed materials or scarps caused by erosion.
