Mandurah Northern Beaches - Our Coastal Future

Coastlines naturally change over time. The City of Mandurah is working to identify how vulnerable its northern beaches and adjacent development are to coastal processes (erosion and flooding) through a Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) project.
The objective of the project is to identify immediate, short (25 year), medium (25-50 year) and long term (50-100 year) coastal hazard risks and to plan for future land use and development in light of a changing coastal environment.
The project will provide advice on how the impacts of a changing coastline will influence development decisions in the area. The project will seek feedback on impacts and concerns of affected community members or groups. This will ensure that the adaptation plans are robust, fair and respond to existing community values.
This project aligns with and supports the State Government approach for decision-making in relation to coastal hazards.

The City of Mandurah is working to identify future potential impacts from coastal processes (erosion and flooding) to the northern beaches and adjacent development areas. The Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) project will assess coastal risks and identify planning and management actions that respond to expected changes along the northern coastline.
To inform the project, the City of Mandurah is inviting community members to provide input into the CHRMAP.
The City would like to invite you to participate in a community focus group to discuss:
- Options for managing risks to maintain features most important to the community
CHMRAP Workshop: Date: 15 November 2021
Time: 5.30pm to 7.30pm
Venue: Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club (40 Orestes St, San Remo)
Please feel free to invite anyone else who you think would like to participate in this workshop. Any other person who you invite will also need to register here.
While there are currently no restrictions in place, the workshop may be subject to any new Health Department directives from the Government should circumstances change. If this is the case, the City of Mandurah will adjust the meeting venue accordingly. If the workshop is oversubscribed, we will look to run an additional meeting at a time to be confirmed.

The study area extends from Roberts Point in Halls Head to Madora Bay in the north, excluding the Mandurah Estuary and the estuary channel entrance. The study area encompasses five main coastal project areas:
- Madora Bay
- San Remo
- Silver Sands

Establish the context
Mandurah Northern Beaches - Our Coastal Future has finished this stageThis consultation is open for your feedback - check the key dates above and opportunities on this page to provide your input to the project.
This stage sets the scene of the coastal environment and identifies community values for the northern beaches and surrounding areas.
-
Risk identification
Mandurah Northern Beaches - Our Coastal Future has finished this stageA coastal hazard assessment will be undertaken by modelling erosion and inundation hazards along Mandurah's northern beaches for the current year (2019), as well as future planning timeframes of 10, 25, 50 ad 100 years (to 2120). We will present the outcomes of this assessment to the community once available.
-
Vulnerability assessment and risk evaluation
Mandurah Northern Beaches - Our Coastal Future has finished this stageInformed by the values identified by the community, the team will undertake a vulnerability and risk assessment that identifies what parts of Mandurah's northern beaches and vulnerable to erosion or flooding, and where risk levels are intolerable so that adaptation decisions are required. We will share the outcomes of this assessment to the community once available.
-
Risk treatment
Mandurah Northern Beaches - Our Coastal Future is currently at this stageIn this stage, we will invite the community to join adaptation planning workshops. In these workshops, the community will be directly involved in evaluating how effective various adaptation options are to maintain the values that are important in the area.
The outcomes of these workshops will inform an adaptation plan that recommends the most appropriate coastal adaptation options based on a variety of social, cultural, environmental and economic considerations.
