Thirteen projects across South Australia to improve coastal protection will receive $1.2 million as part of the latest round of the Regional Coastal Protection Grants.
The projects range from foreshore rock armouring at Moonta Bay as well as a foreshore revetment wall at Smoky Bay, to concept plans and consultation for a seapool at Hallett Cove.
Minister for Environment and Water, David Speirs , said that the grants will enable 13 projects worth $2.3 million worth to be delivered to address erosion or flooding hazards and public safety and access along the coast, including foreshore protection, dune rehabilitation, and coastal maintenance.
“This $1.2 million grant round will help do exactly that funding a range of projects across the state to help councils manage their coastal risks and provide practical solutions,” Minister Speirs said.
“South Australia’s coastline is the first defence against a changing climate and beaches are often at the heart of our regional communities’ economies.”
