Mandurah’s sandy beaches are a valuable asset to residents of this local government area of Western Australia. A risk assessment study conducted by Mandurah’s council revealed the vulnerability of these beaches to the impacts of climate change, especially those associated with increasing sea levels. The council decided to implement beach nourishment activities in order to preserve the beaches and maintain their amenity. The effectiveness of this single strategy is being monitored on an on-going basis to make sure the adaptation measure meets the economic, environmental and social objectives set by the council. An additional measure could be the construction of protective structures such as sea walls or groynes.
