In response to the deteriorating condition of the groyne rock wall, East Gippsland Shire Council is working on a remediation project at Bastion Point boat ramp.
This initiative is not only aimed at ensuring the safety of boat ramp users but also at safeguarding the integrity of this vital coastal asset.
Since construction, the boat ramp has served the needs of the community, visitors, the abalone industry and is a crucial emergency evacuation point, as demonstrated during the 2019/2020 fires.
The breakwater has suffered damage over time from wave action. Repairs and rock clearances have been undertaken on the head of the breakwater and in the boat access channel.
Recently, large rocks have washed off the groyne wall during storms.
