State cabinet has approved $2 million of Royalties for Regions funding for the Gingin Shire to address coastal erosion at Seabird.
The works will involve a possible engineering solution to protect Seabird homes and property under immediate threat.
A longer term strategy to treat erosion in Seabird will be investigated through the development of a Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan.
Member for Moore Shane Love MLA welcomed news of the Royalties for Regions funding, which he said was necessary to address a situation in Seabird which had become desperate.
“ In recent times the situation has become desperate and I commend the Seabird Progress Association for engaging an engineering consultancy and proposing works that will work to address the immediate danger ,” Mr Love said.
The Seabird Progress Association has engaged a specialist engineering firm who are due to meet with the Gingin Shire this week.
