The McGowan Government has allocated $5 million to four high priority coastal erosion hotspots across the State including in the City of Rockingham.
Transport and Planning Minister Rita Saffioti made the announcement on Wednesday, with $650,000 to be awarded to the City for coastal management at Point Peron, including sand management and spur groyne refurbishment works.
$3.25 million will be given to the City of Fremantle for the Port Beach large-scale sand nourishment project, which will provide up to 10 years of protection.
The City of Wanneroo will receive $500,000 for Quinns Beach groyne construction and $600,000 will go to the City of Greater Geraldton for Drummond Cove groyne construction and sand nourishment.
All four of these projects were classed as high priority projects by the State Government's 2019 'Assessment of Coastal Erosion Hotspots in Western Australia' report, which identified 55 coastal erosion hotspots across Western Australia.
"This funding will support local governments, community groups and coastal managers to ensure appropriate measures and coastal management plans are in place to secure our natural asset for many years to come," Minister Saffioti said.
