Sandbag seawall under repair An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
WHILE repairs are being made to the sandbag seawall at Portsea front beach investigations continue into preventing erosion at the beach. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) says it has “partnered” with Morn-
ington Peninsula Shire Council “to investigate potential long-term options to reduce wave energy and erosion”. The latest studies will “complement previous investigations into coastal management options at Portsea front beach” and are expected to be finished
in about two months. The sandbag seawall was installed in 2010 and is credited with helping protect the foreshore against storm surge, waves and tides. The repairs could take up to three months. Picture: Yanni
