Tootgarook Beach Renourishment Program
Capel Sound Foreshore is very excited about the upcoming works commencing in Tootgarook for the beach renourishment program.
Several areas in Tootgarook are experiencing severe coastal erosion due to natural sand loss processes. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) will dredge sand from offshore sand bars adjacent to the beaches and pump it ashore. This will protect the coast, infrastructure and assets, and provide a wide and safe beach for community use.
The beaches will largely remain open for public use while works take place. The area to be renourished is between Laura Street and Kevin Street, Tootgarook.
The beach renourishments will take place very soon when weather permits.
During the works, pedestrian access will be maintained with temporary restrictions to parts of the beach. Please ensure any signage is followed and dogs remain on leads due to large machinery being used.
There may be some minimum audible noise heard during the day only.
