EROSION along the shore at Boonooroo is a worrying sight, with the sea mere metres from properties.
The ground near the waters edge is weak, filled with holes and the shoreline drops away into the ocean.
For Boonooroo resident Robyn Ward, the gradually eroding shoreline meant properties along the waterfront were not protected during last yearâs storm surges.
Ms Ward was echoed by fellow resident Aaron Best, who said the erosion over time will make future king tide and flooding events more concerning.
âItâs just a natural thing unfortunately, thereâs nothing you can do other than building up the banks all along with concrete or that sort of thing.â
