How does the Waverley Council address climate change impacts on our beaches?

The Waverley Council recognizes the significant threats posed by climate change, particularly sea-level rise and increased storm intensity. To combat these issues, they've implemented a Coastal Management Program that focuses on adaptive strategies. • This includes regular assessments of beach conditions and erosion patterns, which help inform decisions about infrastructure and conservation efforts. They also promote community awareness and involvement in climate initiatives. • Furthermore, the Council collaborates with environmental agencies to enhance coastal resilience through natural solutions, like restoring dunes and wetlands that can absorb storm surges.
