Bluff Point Coastal Adaptation Planning

The Bluff Point Coastal Adaptation Planning Project is about planning for changes to the Bluff Point coastline to create a long-term plan to manage coastal erosion hazards. This plan will help guide future decision-making and actions to keep the area safe, sustainable and enjoyable for years to come.

As these areas contain City, State Government and community owned assets an investigation into short to medium term (now to 2030) coastal adaptation measures and their implementation is now required.The City has received grant funding from the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage to undertake adaptation planning for Bluff Point and has has partnered with coastal engineering consultants MP Rogers and Associates and 361 Degrees to deliver the project.

Who is involved?

The project is engaging with a wide range of stakeholders including:

  • Land/property/infrastructure owners within the impacted area (immediate residents, businesses, organisations)
  • Mid West Ports Authority
  • State Government agencies (utilities, environment, roads, education, health)
  • Community groups relevant to the coastal area
  • Sporting/recreational groups who use the area
  • Surrounding schools

How can I get involved?

There are still opportunities to learn about coastal adaptation processes and the considerations for shaping the design and development of coastal adaptation options for Bluff Point. 

  • Watch the webinar conducted in October that described coastal processes and erosion patterns at Bluff Point. It also provided examples and case studies, and outlined the decision-making tools that the project will be using. Link is below.
  • Review the four project webpages linked below that cover coastal processes, the project area, the project process and how the City has been working with the community.
  • Review and provide your feedback on the six Concept Adaptation Options.   To ensure property/infrastructure owners have enough time to provide their feedback the deadline has been extended to 7.00am on Monday 13 January 2025.
