THE Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority says it is responding promptly to coastal erosion across the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n

Recent large swells, high tides and heavy rainfall have significantly affected the coastline, with crews presently assessing and repairing damage from Torquay to Port Campbell.<\/p>\n

Beach nourishment works have already been carried out at Mount Bay and Skenes Creek to provide increased resilience.<\/p>\n

Dune stabilising works are also under way at Mother’s Beach in Apollo Bay.<\/p>\n

At Torquay’s Back Beach (69W), storm damage has caused a sinkhole in the walking track, subsequently damaging the stairs, leading to a gravel washout.<\/p>\n

Storm damage has caused a sinkhole and stair damage at Torquay Back Beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Crews are working to repair the site and are planning a structural assessment of the seawall to determine if any repairs are required.<\/p>\n

Further along the coast at Point Roadknight. a five-metre cliff collapse also took place 70 metres from the boat ramp.<\/p>\n

The authority’s acting climate action and resilience manager Jesse Parson-Jones said the authority was monitoring all sites.<\/p>\n

“Recent weather conditions serve as a timely reminder of the importance of cliff safety along the Great Ocean Road and we remind the community and visitors to follow safety guidelines when near cliffs.<\/p>\n

“We urge the public to avoid the sites and follow all safety signage in place.”<\/p>\n

Natural sand cycles are expected to restore beaches such as Bells Beach, Fairhaven and Whites Beach over the summer months.<\/p>\n
