This project is in its early stages as the strategy was finalised in 2020. The strategy focuses heavily on nature-based solutions and solutions requiring minimal interference in natural processes. All works fall under state legislation that allows for small works of this type to be completed without needing permits. The project is expected to cost between $150,000 if sand fencing is not used, to $530,000 with sand fencing.
