Combined Community Drop-in Session | Dalyellup Foreshore Projects

Our Coast, Our Future
Help Shape What Comes Next

Our coast is part of everyday life in Dalyellup - a place to walk, swim, gather, relax and connect. Like much of Western Australia, the Shire of Capel coastline is impacted by erosion (a loss of beach sand, dunes and vegetation), and areas near Capel River may also be impacted by inundation (flood from sea water).

To plan for these changes responsibly, the Shire of Capel is bringing together one coordinated effort, comprised of two inter-related projects, with two key outcomes, guided by long term coastal science and shaped by the community. The long term coastal risks have been studied through the Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP). The CHRMAP helps us understand what may happen to the coastline over time and makes some recommendations

Now, we are taking the next step, and we would like to hear from you, to help shape what comes next.

Whether you visit often or from time-to-time, your perspective matters.

The CHRMAP addresses the next 100-years, while these two projects focus on the shorter term and respond to the needs of our community and the foreshore today.

That’s where you come in...

Two projects. One shared direction.

Although the projects have different purposes, they work together:

• The Foreshore Management Plan focuses on management strategies outlining how the coastal area, including both beach and foreshore, is managed, protected and cared for over the next 10-15 years;

• The South Dalyellup Redevelopment Project focuses on how the area directly around the Surf Life Saving Club could be redesigned to improve safety, accessibility and amenity.

Drop-in anytime between 5pm and 7pm

This is an opportunity to share:

• ENJOYMENT | What you enjoy most about the Dalyellup foreshore and coastal area

• USAGE | How you use the area

• ASPIRATIONS | What you would like to see in this area for the future

• CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS | Any concerns or questions you may have

Your input will help guide how this important area is managed and how it can continue to grow and adapt over time. This area is important to many different communities, so we need input and collaboration from everyone to develop strategies and solutions which are suitable and sustainable.

Help shape your coast today and into the future.
