Moving sand from Semaphore to West Beach May 17, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
Work begins this week to move sand from where it builds up at Semaphore to eroded sections of West Beach – part of the South Australia Department for Environment and Water’s regular beach replenishment program.
Sand will be collected initially from the Semaphore South breakwater at Point Malcolm, which has been designed to trap sand, and moved by truck to West Beach.
Sand will also be collected from between the Semaphore jetty and north of the Largs Bay jetties as part of the works.
Prior to this, from today, a small amount of sand is being moved from the Torrens Outlet to the Rockingham Street dunes at West Beach as a rapid response to address erosion at this vulnerable location before the sand from Semaphore is delivered.
