Adelaide Beach Management Review Survey

This survey seeks your input to assist with an initial review of sand management approaches for Adelaide’s beaches. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.  You will need to be registered with YourSAy to complete the survey. 

Adelaide’s coast is a much loved and visited part of our city and holds significant community, environmental and economic value. However, the coast is at risk from erosion and without active management we will see the loss of sandy beaches in some areas and the continued build-up of sand in other areas. 

In areas where sand loss is the greatest, unless active management continues then the extent of erosion would result in collapse of infrastructure, shared-use paths, roads, buildings and public areas.

The Adelaide Beach Management Review involves independent scientific review supported by community engagement to identify sand management approaches that are feasible and best meet environmental needs while acknowledging community expectations.

The first stage of the 12-month review involves the assessment of a list of sand management approaches to identify a short list of technically feasible approaches.

This survey seeks to find out what is important to the community when considering how sand could be managed on Adelaide’s beaches. The community input received will help us assess a variety of sand management approaches.

It also provides the opportunity for community members to suggest approaches that can be assessed in this initial stage. The resulting shortlist will be released for further consultation later this year.
