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 has partnered with coastal engineering consultants MP Rogers to deliver the project.
