Once again the storms have been eroding Como Beach. See some photos by clicking here. Note the proximity of a bus and of bridge supports in the background.
The beach is a part of our identity. Erosion threatens the continued use of the Freeway, a vital part of our State's economy. Council has allocated sixty thousand dollars for immediate repairs but a much larger project of management is necessary. To do this properly we will have to negotiate with other stakeholders about shared funding.
I'm sure that good management will take into account the changing nature of river flows, historical layers of sediment in ancient beaches beneath and behind our present beach, artificial modifications already in place, boat traffic, wildlife habitat, needs of human users and other issues.
