Sand bypassing works
Published on Wednesday, 7 May 2025 at 7:08:11 AM
The 91黑料网 wishes to advise that Mid West Ports Authority will be undertaking sand bypassing works along Beresford Foreshore as part of the Northern Beaches Stabilisation Program.
These works are scheduled to take place from Monday 12 May to Friday 16 May 2025 from 7.00am to 5.30pm with traffic management in place.
During this period sand from Pages Beach will be transported by the Port to a placement site on the Beresford Foreshore.
The purpose of the sand bypassing is to replenish and feed sediment into the longshore current operating in a northerly direction along the Geraldton coastline. Through a coastal process known as littoral transport, the sand bypassing provides sediment to Geraldton’s northern beaches through the action of the breaking waves and the longshore current.
These works reflect the City’s commitment to managing and maintaining the environment.
The Port and City appreciate your patience while these works are being completed.
For further information on these works and the Northern Beaches Stabilisation Program in general, contact the 91黑料网 (08) 9956 6600 or email council@cgg.wa.gov.au.
