Latest update on Adelaide’s dredging and beach replenishment

The state government is continuing to work at Henley Beach and West Beach in line with the recommendations of the independent Adelaide Beach Management Review.

The final deliveries of quarry sand to Henley Beach are nearly complete. Sand delivery to replenish West Beach started on Monday 29 July.

Also, progress continues with the state government’s dredging trial that is exploring sustainable sand management practices along Adelaide’s coast. It is a key initiative to address coastal erosion and improve beach conditions.

Dredging is taking place between Taperoo and North Haven. All sand will be transported by barge to replenish West Beach. The trial is planned to conclude by early November.
