The City of Mandurah has received State Government funding to help combat coastal erosion at one of its most popular beaches.
The CoastWA grants program will see $1.32 million spent on upgrading the Town Beach seawall, improving protection against coastal erosion and public safety.
"It is vital we continue to find ways to protect and build the adaptation and resilience of our beaches and foreshores for everyone to experience and enjoy the beauty of these special places," Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said.
"This latest round of CoastWA grants will support the development of important management plans and implementation of on-ground projects to deliver long term outcomes for our coastline."
Nearly $56,000 has also been split between several local governments and coastcare groups including Golden Bay Progress Association, Kennedy Bay Coastcare Association, Kwinana Community (inc Naval Base ‘Shacks’ Community Association), Rockingham Beach Cleans, Secret Harbour
Coastal Crew, Singleton Coastcare, City of Rockingham and City of Kwinana for activities such as planting days, cultural education, coastal monitoring, beach clean-ups and interpretive signage.
