New Brighton Foreshore Control

Foreshore erosion control and revegetation work has been completed at New Brighton Park. Work was completed on the east side of the park between the pedestrian pier and edge of the park beside the tennis courts (see photo). The approximate length of the work was 250m.

The erosion control work utilized the existing stockpile of boulders on-site, and incorporated a large degree of local plant species, well suited to the foreshore environment. Some permanent and temporary fencing was erected to protect some of the natural revegetated areas as they mature.
