Busselton develops Coastal Erosion Strategy for Marybrook–Siesta

The City of Busselton, WA, has developed a draft Coastal Erosion Strategy for the Marybrook–Siesta Park coastline.

The Strategy outlines a long-term approach to managing erosion and protecting coastal assets, with a preferred option of installing a rock groyne system supported by targeted beach nourishment.

The draft Strategy includes:

• A concept plan for eight rock groynes between Lot 66 Caves Road and the Siesta Park Holiday Resort boundary,
• A staged implementation plan, prioritizing high-risk eastern areas,
• A long-term monitoring and maintenance plan.

Consultation closed on August 22, and the officers will now review feedback and prepare a final draft strategy for Council to consider.
