Urbanisation, multiple access points and damaged dune vegetation had resulted in areas of exposed, unconsolidated sands which were highly vulnerable to erosion.
This project was part of a large scale program of dune protection and rehabilitation targeting the Bega Valley Shire’s urban beaches: Bermagui (Camel Rock, Horseshoe Bay); Tathra Beach; and Eden (Aslings Beach). Merimbula Beach was identified as the next highest priority beach requiring rehabilitation.
