Beresford Foreshore sand bypassing works

Published on Thursday, 5 September 2024 at 7:06:53 AM

The City of Greater Geraldton wishes to advise that Mid West Ports Authority will be undertaking sand bypassing works along Beresford Foreshore as part of the Northern Beaches Stabilisation Program. 

These works are scheduled to take place from Monday 9 September to Friday 13 September 2024. During this period the Port will transport sand from Pages Beach to a placement site on the Beresford Foreshore.

The purpose of the sand bypassing is to replenish and feed sediment into the longshore current operating in a northerly direction along the Geraldton coastline. Through a coastal process known as littoral transport, the sand bypassing provides sediment to Geraldton’s northern beaches through the action of the breaking waves and the longshore current.

Working will be between the hours of 7.00am to 5.30pm and traffic management will be in place during this period to minimise the disruption to traffic in the area.

The City appreciates your patience while these works are being completed.

For further information on these works and the Northern Beaches Stabilisation Program in general, contact the City of Greater Geraldton (08) 9956 6600 or email council@cgg.wa.gov.au.
