Update 7 July 2016
The City of Wanneroo is currently investigating long term coastal management options for the Quinns Rocks coastline to address ongoing coastal erosion issues. Coastal engineering consultants, Cardno, were appointed to undertake the Quinns Beach Long Term Coastal Management Study in accordance with Council decision at its ordinary meeting of 16 September 2014. Completion of Stage 1 (Coastal Processes Assessment) and Stage 2 (Concept Coastal Management Options Assessment) has identified the following two preferred coastal management options:
Community feedback was invited for the two preferred options during a community engagement programme including two community information sessions held on 27 April 2016 and opportunities for the community to submit option preferences and comments over a 4 week period ending on 13 May 2016. In total, 545 responses were received with over 150 comments. Refer to the link below to download the Community Consultation Report.
Since the close of the community consultation, the City has met with the Quinns Beach Long Term Coastal Protection Community Reference Group on two separate occasions and also facilitated a workshop with Cardno and the Department of Transport to discuss the consultation outcomes.
At this stage, the Stage 2 report and the recommended Quinns Beach long term coastal management option will be presented to Council at its Ordinary Meeting on 16 August 2016 with the intention of selecting a preferred option for detailed design (Stage 3 of the Quinns Beach Long Term Coastal Management Study). Detailed design is expected to take approximately 3 to 4 months to complete after which time, subject to the allocation of appropriate funding, arrangements will commence to allow for implementation of long term coastal management works, which will likely take place over a staged 2 to 3 year construction programme subject to budget and approvals.
Meanwhile, the City will continue to monitor the Quinns Rocks coastline via photographic monitoring, beach surveys and groyne condition inspections and will undertake maintenance works such as beach re-nourishment as required.
