Waves and wind are eating into the state’s beaches, with some losing almost 30 metres of their breadth in this week’s storms.
Each metre of lost sand takes around five days to replace as new sand washes in, Harley said, meaning it is likely to be four months before the beach at Collaroy returns to the size it was last week. In Maroubra, earthmoving equipment was used to push the advancing dunes back onto the beach for the second day in a row on Tuesday.
The state’s coastal management plan is currently in a transitional phase, with 50 councils up and down the coast at different stages of preparing local plans. Many are still doing scoping studies.
