STATE authorities will build a rock seawall at Eastern View as part of ongoing works to manage erosion impacts along the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning announced plans for a $2 million project last week, which will build a wall section at the Devil’s Elbow car park.<\/p>\n

The project also includes rock bag protection for other car parks and power poles further north towards the Memorial Arch.<\/p>\n

The new project followed a listening post earlier this year, when residents of Eastern View expressed “limited support” for an engineered seawall to provide long-term protection due to likely impacts on the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n

DELWP said it would minimise the visual impact of the new structure and use removeable erosion treatments where possible.<\/p>\n

“The rock revetment will be like that used at Apollo Bay and other sections along the Great Ocean Road, with the crest vegetated to achieve a natural appearance,” DELWP stated.<\/p>\n

“Rock bags will be placed seaward of the eroding dune scarp and are designed to be removed and reused at other locations once a more permanent solution has been found.<\/p>\n

“There may be more erosion over the next few months before the works are implemented and we ask locals and visitors to follow all warning signs for their safety.”<\/p>\n

DELWP is delivering the works alongside the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority.<\/p>\n

Planning is also ongoing for a long-term Coastal Adaptation Plan for Eastern View to minimise risk of environmental damage.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, authorities also spent a week on a sand renourishment project for Skenes Creek.<\/p>\n

GORCAPA moved sand from Apollo Bay Harbour last month to the Skenes Creek foreshore in response to recent erosion, which has damaged beach access structures, dune fencing and vegetation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
