ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                          20 JUNE 2024


             erosion in the future, where as “do nothing” increases the risk of loss of this
             valuable community space. Council already undertakes sand nourishment along
             the foreshore to halt erosion and this is an extension of this program. The DRAFT
             plan also proposes wide beaches, lookout points and improved graded entries to
             the beach areas to maximise access. Low planting is proposed on the low sand
             mounds to maintain visibility and provide resilience to the river’s edge. In terms of
             foreshore planning, it is noted that the current landscaping, pathways, beach
             shelters and seating walls, now so valued and accepted by the community, were
             established by Council 25 years ago as part of an infrastructure planning process.
             It’s hard to imagine the foreshore now without these facilities. It is timely for
             Council to plan for the future that help manage coastal and tidal issues, plan for
             more green space for community use, plan for new and replacement toilets,
             playgrounds and shelters, as well as locate wider paths that better manage the
             significant number of residents and visitors now using the foreshore.
