Q. And what were they doing there? A. Well, the local Members were discussing with these Protect Port Beach advocates the success of the government’s previous funding for sand nourishment, and the need for forever ongoing management, and the news that the City of Fremantle has received $175,000 from the State Government to develop a Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan, including short-term actions and long-term adaptation pathways for the Beach.
