November 2016

Council has been working closely with the Amity Point community for the last two years on developing a shoreline erosion management plan. A key supporting study has now been completed, being a geophysical investigation of the rock armouring at Amity Point. This work further complements the hydrographic survey completed in late 2015 and enables a more informed assessment of the Amity Point shoreline.

While the SEMP is near completion a progress report has been prepared outlining the emerging management options based on the work completed to date. While this report is important, it is important to note it is not the final report or an implementation plan.

Council will be hosting an event early 2017 to present and explain the outcomes of these studies to the Amity Point Community and to continue to engage the community in the development of a shoreline erosion management plan based on these and other studies. In recognition of strong community interest in the meantime, all supporting reports and studies are available in the document library of the Coastal Erosion and Management project.
