Update on Port Broughton Coastal Protection Issues

Council has applied for funding from the Coast Protection Board in order to complete the next stage of upgrading the protection of properties along the foreshore at Port Broughton, namely detailed design drawings for an appropriately sized seawall. This work builds upon the Port Broughton Coastal Hazard Adaption Plan completed in 2018. We hope soon to hear whether we are successful in receiving this grant funding. Council is also waiting to apply for funding under the newly announced Regional SA Coastline grant program that will provide $4 million in funding over the next 4 years for coastal councils to help repair, restore and sustain the state’s regional coastlines. Council would like to apply for funding to address sand erosion issues along the Port Broughton and Fisherman Bay foreshore. If there are any queries concerning coastal foreshore conditions, please contact Council.
