Sand dunes are important as a buffer for waves during storms and important habitat for plants and animals.
The newly formed dunes were planted with appropriate native species and fences were put up.
New beach access paths and signage were also installed.
The purpose of this is to keep beachgoers off the dunes to allow for the long-term stabilisation of the dunes and to protect plants and animals.
A Vegetation Management Plan(PDF, 11MB) has been developed which includes follow up maintenance for 12 months. Soon after the beach scaping there were signs of new plant growth.
