The severe sand depletion on the Sandringham beach is a major concern. Normally, typical winter northerly winds deposit significant amounts of sand along the shore during this season. Without this natural barrier, the cliff bases are left unprotected against severe coastal erosion, particularly when strong southerly winds and wave action shift the sand northwards in the summer.
What can you do?
You can write to the Minister of Environment with your concerns to address the beach erosion in bayside. Take photos to include in your correspondence:
Victoria's Minister for Environment, The Hon.Jaclyn Symes MLC, by emailing [email protected] or through her official office details found on the Jaclyn Symes Contact Page. DEECA Greater Melbourne Bayside City Council, Victoria
