(a) The drone monitoring of at-risk coastal areas is a 12-month trial capture program. The supporting partners, including local governments and Aboriginal rangers, will decide whether to continue the program once the project is completed and the results are evaluated.
(b) The Department of Transport will support the project partners by providing guidance on processing data and hosting it online. Applications can be made for funds from the competitive CoastWA Coastal Adaption and Protection grant program.
(c) All data collected during the trial program will be stored and managed by the Department of Transport. It will be made available as “open data” via a web-based portal for future monitoring and benchmarking purposes.
