HERE’S HOPING: Inverloch visitor Maria Dietrich was saddened by erosion in front of the Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club.
BEACH RESCUE
Two years is too long to wait for erosion solution AT high tide, the ocean is not far from the clubhouse of Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club. Yet authorities will spend up to two years determining a long term solution to erosion that has removed more than 40m of beach and dune from Inverloch’s surf beach in recent years. That’s simply too long, said the lifesaving club’s Warren Cook. “It is unbelievable what has happened here. Now at high tide, the water is 10m from the clubhouse,” he said.
It is unbelievable what has happened here.” - Warren Cook, Inverloch SLSC
“If that is any indication, then after two years or more of erosion, it is going to end up that our clubhouse will be on a peninsula or an island.” Authorities will install a geotextile sandbag wall in front of the clubhouse from next week. While the clubhouse is not in immediate threat of being washed into the sea, Mr Cook is concerned what will happen when full tides and swells return come Easter. FULL STORY PAGE 5.
