  • Warrnambool City Council Is Committed to Safer Launching And
    Warrnambool City Council is committed to safer launching and retrieval of boats in Lady Bay In Warrnambool, boating has long been a challenge An 1867 report proposed a port and breakwater. In 1887, after two decades of discussion, the breakwater was built. Once the decision was made, it took eight years to complete It was extended by 100m in the 1910s In the modern era, Council has moved cautiously when it comes to structural modifications in Lady Bay Some believe more infrastructure to cater for more fishing boats would provide an economic boon for Warrnambool Others believe making changes could damage what it is people love about Lady Bay Lady Bay’s future has many stakeholders Boaters The next generation Sailors Walkers Walkers Residents Surfers Developers Anglers Environmentalists CoastCare Cyclists Business Tourists Joggers Government Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Australian boat launching standards recommend launching in waves of less than 20cm All three safer boating options now before the community for discussion will make launching and retrieval of boats significantly safer. Picture: Dan Atkinson Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay The bay is already a dynamic environment Changing or modifying the breakwater could have consequences elsewhere along the bay The Port of Warrnambool In summary . The Port of Warrnambool is located in a sensitive coastal environment. Warrnambool’s identity draws heavily from its coastline. While alterations to this environment have occurred over time, there is a need to consider potential impacts on both the land and marine ecology. Alterations to harbour facilities, coastal, and marine environments are heavily regulated at State and Federal levels.

Schools out soon and there are plenty of NEW indoor places to explore on the Sunshine Coast.

Tents were available for hire, erected for a small fee. Meals were offered in the dining tent and a large marquee was used for gatherings, while a kiosk operated by the Salvation Army sold bread, soft drinks, lollies and fruit.

  • 6 the Sunshine Coast Shoreline and Preferred Erosion Management
    6 The Sunshine Coast shoreline and preferred erosion management options The process for determining what erosion management option is considered preferable at a particular beach unit involves the identification of coastal processes and resources and the associated natural, social and economic values and determining the impacts and relative significance of each. For the purposes of the SEMP, the coastline has been divided into four shoreline management zones made up of 28 beach management units, or ‘localities’, for individual investigation based on physical boundaries that affect coastal processes, such as headlands and river entrances. Maps for the four shoreline management zones are displayed in Appendix A, namely: • Zone 1: Coolum to Mudjimba • Zone 2: Mudjimba to Point Cartwright • Zone 3: Point Cartwright to Caloundra Headland • Zone 4: Caloundra Headland to Southern Boundary Beach management units are introduced and discussed in this section under their respective zones. This section provides an overview of the zone and beach specific processes, resources, values, erosion issues and management options. Each management zone is introduced through a discussion of the processes and high-level values and is accompanied by mapping. All beach management units within that zone are identified and a brief overview is provided for lower risk beach management units where the erosion threat is low or action to protect public land or other infrastructure is not required in the next 10 years. It is proposed that these lower risk issues will be dealt with in more detail by the coastal land management planning or, for medium to high priority issues in the longer term, be administered and dealt with in future reviews of the SEMP or through other strategic planning processes, as is appropriate.
