Silverleaves will have works completed before Easter to protect the dunes from further erosion and to protect in land Philip Island from flooding and to maintain public access to the beach.
Also, the Loch Sport Seagull Drive Boat Ramp will have a groyne field installed to help protect the boat ramp and will have sand renourishment to rebuild the coastline.
To enhance access and improve coastal infrastructure along the Great Ocean Road, $2 million will address storm surge impacts including compromised seawalls and safe beach access for community in key locations such as Torquay, Port Campbell and Eastern View.
