- Consideration of the indigenous and heritage sites in future with respect to sea-level rise.
- Monitoring of the beaches in this location (e.g. profile surveys, photographs) is recommended to more closely document the rates of change along the beach, particularly near the boat ramp, the Dell and on either side of the new centre groyne below Edgewater Drive. This will provide better background information to inform more detailed future assessments. Frequency of profiling will depend on available funds and resources, suggest teaming with DELWP to determine how best to approach the monitoring and the methods. Generally, the following is recommended:
- profiling at the end of each season (or at least summer and winter), as well as after significant storm events
- 10-15 profiles at key locations along the Clifton Springs coast, and/or where there is a significant change in the cliff or beach morphology or where there are significant assets along the shoreline or behind shore protection structures
- photographs of the shoreline taken at the same times as profiles are surveyed, preferably at fixed and known sites facing the same direction.
