Erosion in Byron Bay appears out of control and may have the potential to threaten the welfare of the town.
Solutions proposed over the years have included building a rock seawall and importing large amounts of sand from elsewhere.
A Council release from April 2021 indicates plans to restore sand dunes by beach scraping, sand trapping, fence restoration and dune revegetation. It is suggested that these approaches will be implemented ‘once the sand rebuilds’.
The rebuilding of the sand appears to be the core of the problem. This may be impeded by the phenomenon of ‘headland bypassing’, which occurs when sand is transported from one beach to another around an obstacle, such as a headland, and, in the absence of the appropriate conditions in terms of wave direction and strength, fails to deposit sand in the area directly behind the obstacle.
