Coastal Dune Recovery at Newport Beach through Restoration and Revegetation #1

This project will repair storm damage to the coastal dune system at Newport Beach, NSW, and a section of the Bicentennial Coastal Walkway at the northern end of the beach. The Green Army will focus primarily on invasive weed removal located over the dune system to ensure gaps created by the storm are not overrun. In the longer term this will help to build resilience in the endemic species to out-compete the invasive species, provide stabilised dune system and native vegetation to inhibit wind and storm erosion and provide habitat for locally significant and migratory bird species. Repair to the walkway and surrounding stormwater drainage system will also reduce future erosion potential.
