Urgent coastal protection works started in Silverleaves and Inverloch following an announcement by Minister for Environment, The Hon Steve Dimopoulos and Jordan Crugnale MP yesterday.

Bass Coast Mayor, Cr Rochelle Halstead , said: “This funding is a vital step in protecting our coastline and ensuring the safety of our community. Coastal erosion is a significant issue, and we are pleased to see the Victorian Government taking action. We would encourage the Government to prioritize the important strategic work underway – and release the Cape to Cape Resilience Plan and commit to a plan for Western Port.”
