Apollo Bay and Marengo, VIC

Apollo Bay and Marengo Beach backs onto the Great Ocean Road, a highly popular tourist road. Stage 1 of the coastal erosion management works were delivered in June 2021, including the construction of three rock groynes and approximately 900 metres of rock wall. The groynes hold sand on the beach and the seawall protects the Great Ocean Road, foreshore path, cypress trees and other assets.
