Winter sands for Port Beach
The City of Fremantle is preparing to put an initial 30,000 cubic metres of sand along Port Beach in the first stage of a major project to protect the beach from coastal erosion.
The sand, which is enough to cover Fremantle Oval to a depth of almost 16 metres, is scheduled to be deposited on the beach in August to avoid the seagrass growing season.
With winter approaching, the City has been working with project partners Fremantle Ports and the Department of Transport, as well as project management and environmental approvals consultants, to protect Port Beach from erosion.
Fremantle Council has formally endorsed the $37 million plan to redevelop the historic Fremantle Oval.
The Fremantle Oval Redevelopment Masterplan was prepared by the City of Fremantle in collaboration with South Fremantle Football Club, Fremantle Football Club and the WA Football Commission, with assistance from the state government’s Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
Fremantle Deputy Mayor Andrew Sullivan said now that the council has formally adopted the plan the project partners could begin seeking the funding required to bring the project to fruition.
“The redevelopment of Fremantle Oval has been one of the top priorities for the City of Fremantle for many years, and it’s fantastic to also have the South Fremantle Football Club, Fremantle Football Club and the WA Football Commission throwing their support behind this Masterplan,” Cr Sullivan said.

TO COME R9: Adelaide, Norwood Oval, Sun March 28 (L)
WE SAY: Been an incredible season for the Magpies under coach Steve Symonds in his second year in charge, but their six-game undefeated run was halted by a travelling Lions outfit in Round 7. A big win over the Saints this weekend will further boost their percentage, however, their defence is depleted with the club confirming the seasons are over for defenders Lauren Butler and Jordy Allen who were both injured in the loss to Brisbane. Collingwood then head out on the road for the first time in 2021, to face Adelaide at Norwood Oval: how will they handle the travel? That question means surely the Crows will go into that Round 9 clash as favourites. Regardless of where Collingwood finish, they will go into finals as the only team in the likely top six to have not faced Fremantle, the likely minor premiers.
