It outlines ways to manage risks, ranging from where buried seawalls could be built to enhancing dune protections and offering training and education about coastal hazards.

For those who can cast our minds back to 2011 when there was no sand between Alexandra Headland and Maroochydore, it was devastating, it was a tourism and economic disaster, he said.
