Erosion petition heading for Parliament

SOUTH Gippsland Conservation Society (SGCS) has presented its petition calling for urgent funding to combat coastal erosion at Inverloch to Member for Bass Jordan Crugnale earlier today (March 2).

This follows SGCS’ successful rally which was held at Inverloch’s surf club in early January, and saw hundreds of attendees form a ‘line in the sand’ to highlight the severity of erosion at Inverloch Surf Beach and other areas.

SGCS is calling on all levels of government to protect the remaining dunes and implement immediate dune nourishment works at Surf Beach, as well as Wreck Creek and Flat Rocks.

The group handed its petition, which has received almost 500 signatures, to Ms Crugnale at Inverloch’s surf club, who is now expected to present it in Parliament next week to the relevant Minister.
