Sand bypassing works

As part of the Northern Beaches Stabilisation Program the Mid West Ports Authority will be undertaking sand bypassing works on the Beresford Foreshore between Tuesday 7 June and Friday 10 June 2022.

During this period, sand from Pages Beach will be transported by the Port to placement sites along the Beresford Foreshore.

The purpose of the sand by-passing is to 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.

Traffic management will be in place to minimise the disruption to traffic in the area. Working hours will be between the hours of 7.00am to 5.30pm for duration of the works.

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.
