The embayment stretching from Galvin Park to Towradgi Beach Park in the Wollongong region was a site for a number of works undertaken as part of the Beach Improvement Programme in 1978. Terminal revetments were constructed at Towradgi and Galvin Park, protecting recreational activities, with dune stabilisation works completed from Fairymeadow Beach to Towradgi Beach. Sand for dune stabilisation works was excavated from the hind dune area, and placed in the frontal area to rebuild a continuous and effective frontal dune system. Dune were planted with marram grass and fenced, with access ways constructed at appropriate locations.
