Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Coastal Adaptation Planning

Draft Marybrook–Siesta Park Coastal Erosion Strategy – Open now!

The City of Busselton has developed a draft Coastal Erosion Strategy for the Marybrook–Siesta Park coastline, informed by earlier community feedback and expert coastal assessments. The Strategy outlines a long-term approach to managing erosion and protecting coastal assets, with a preferred option of installing a rock groyne system supported by targeted beach nourishment.

The draft Strategy includes:

• A concept plan for eight rock groynes between Lot 66 Caves Road and the Siesta Park Holiday Resort boundary
• A staged implementation plan, prioritising high-risk eastern areas
• A long-term monitoring and maintenance plan

We invite community members to:

• Provide feedback online from 21 July to 4pm 22 August 2025
• Attend a community drop-in session on Saturday 2 August 2025 11am to 1pm at the Naturaliste Community Centre (NCC) to learn more and ask questions

Your feedback will help finalise the Strategy and guide future funding and implementation.
